The Composition of the São Brás Copper Hoard in Relation to the Bell Beaker Metallurgy in the South-western Iberian Peninsula

A large ceramic vessel was discovered at São Brás (southern Portugal) containing a metallic hoard from the Chalcolithic/Early Bronze Age period. These weapons and tools were characterized by microanalytical techniques as being composed of copper with varying arsenic contents (2.2± 1.6 wt%) and minor amounts of lead, bismuth and iron. The collection shows a clear association between daggers and copper with a higher arsenic content, which can be explained by the high status of these silvery alloys. Finally, the compositional distribution of the hoard was compared with the metallurgy of the Bell Beaker and non–Bell Beaker communities inhabiting the south-western Iberian Peninsula.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

The Rise and Fall of "Respectable" Spanish Liberalism, 1808-1923: An Explanatory Framework

The article focuses on the reasons behind both the consolidation of what I have termed “respectable” liberalism between the 1830s and the 1840s and its subsequent decline and fall between 1900 and 1923. In understanding both processes I study the links established between “respectable” liberals and propertied elites, the monarchy, and the Church. In the first phase these links served to consolidate the liberal polity. However, they also meant that many tenets of liberal ideology were compromised. Free elections were undermined by the operation of caciquismo, monarchs established a powerful position, and despite the Church hierarchy working with liberalism, the doctrine espoused by much of the Church was still shaped by the Counter-Reformation. Hence, “respectable” liberalism failed to achieve a popular social base. And the liberal order was increasingly denigrated as part of the corrupt “oligarchy” that ruled Spain. Worse still, between 1916 and 1923 the Church, monarch, and the propertied elite increasingly abandoned the liberal Monarchist Restoration. Hence when General Primo de Rivera launched his coup the rug was pulled from under the liberals’ feet and there was no one to cushion the fall

Aproximación al estudio de la técnica de elaboración de los broches de cinturón del área cultural Miraveche-Monte-Bernorio

La presente comunicación recoge parte de los estudios en curso de realización acerca de un importante lote de placas de cinturón. La mayor parte de los materiales han sido cedidos amablemente por D. Juan Carlos Elorza, Director del Museo de Burgos, y proceden de las necrópolis de Villanueva de Teba (37 placas) y Busto de Bureba (4 placas), ambas localidades de la provincia de Burgos. En la serie de análisis se han incorporado también unos pocos materiales de la necrópolis soriana de Ucero que excava D. Ernesto García-Soto

Estudio de un broche de cinturón de la necrópolis de "El estacar de Robarinas" (Cástulo, Linares)

Una secuencia cronológica tan prolongada como la que encontramos en Cástulo, plantea transformaciones culturales múltiples, como la de cambio de una sociedad agricultora-ganadera a una productora de excedentes, destinados a mantener al elemento humano encargado de la extracción y beneficio de los minerales en los que era tan rica la zona
