He was educated at Harvard College (A.B. Classics, 1965), Cambridge University (B.A. and M.A. in Prehistoric Archeology, 1967 and 1971 respectively) and Harvard University (Ph.D. Anthropology, 1974). Professor Gilman has been a US authority in the subject of the Late Prehistory of Europe for the last 40 years. His particular commitment to the Iberian Peninsula since the 1970s has had a double impact in research dynamics. It has significantly favored the internationalization of Iberian prehistoric sites and the native archaeologists who study them in the English-speaking academic community. In addition, Gilman has championed a materialist alternative to Culture-History approaches to Archaeology that have been the theoretical mainstream in European universities for decades. A good example is his political-economy approach to the European Late Prehistoric archaeological record, whose unit of analysis has been the emergence of social inequality. His use of site catchment analysis, among other Geographical research strategies, has been essential to show the feasibility of his alternative project. His intellectual influence also owes much to his readiness to participate in Spanish-led archaeological teams, as well as his assessment and commitment in advising public research organizations and scientific journals, such as Trabajos de Prehistoria. The Junta de Andalucia recognized his influential trajectory by awarding him the Menga Medal in 2012. \u0000This interview with Antonio Gilman took advantage of his stay during November 2019 at the Residencia de Estudiantes (Madrid) and will be published in two parts. This first article focuses on the biographical aspects of his intellectual background, highlighting the intersection of chance –and therefore individual decision, family, class, cultural and academic networks in creating a scientific pathway of excellence.","PeriodicalId":46257,"journal":{"name":"Trabajos De Prehistoria","volume":"77 1","pages":"7-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44990723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on lead isotope and trace element analyses of archaeometallurgical remains, this paper addresses the territorial organisation of metallurgical production during the Copper Age (3100-2200 cal BC) in the Vera Basin (Almeria, Spain), the region with the earliest metallurgical evidence in western Europe. This paper comprises the study of materials from the three main settlements with metallurgical activity in the area (Las Pilas, Santa Barbara and Almizaraque), as well as some metal objects from these and other sites (La Encantada I, Loma de Belmonte and Las Churuletas 1). \u0000The results support a model of small-scale regional production whereby settlements exploited the resources of their nearby surroundings (up to 30 km as the crow flies). However, metallurgical exploitation prioritised mineralisations rich in arsenic and other elements, even when other sources were more readily accessible: for the case of Las Pilas, the exploitation of Pinar de Bedar sources instead of Sierra Cabrera, closer to the site; for the cases of Santa Barbara and Almizaraque, the sources of Cerro Minado. The possibility that Almizaraque and Las Pilas also exploited the minerals of Herrerias, although to a lesser extent, remains open. Broader exchange networks are indicated by the data from finished objects, from which greater mobility can be inferred.","PeriodicalId":46257,"journal":{"name":"Trabajos De Prehistoria","volume":"77 1","pages":"87-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70108526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its initial extension must have been reduced, and aimed to control the territory from a large tower, while in the 3rd century BC the settlement reached its maximum surface (3 ha) and a large aristocratic mansion was erected. This evolution reflects the stratification and urbanisation processes of the Iberian society in the area, which would be truncated by the Roman conquest. In the Roman Republican era, a fortified building was built that recovered the site’s function as a control point; this would be sporadically occupied during the early Roman Empire.","PeriodicalId":46257,"journal":{"name":"Trabajos De Prehistoria","volume":"77 1","pages":"113-129"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42496944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ingot, which was found at the lowest levels of the site, potentially dates from 11th-9th century BC, placing it alongside the hoards of hacksilver found in the southern Levant in terms of chronology. The Pb crustal age (from lead isotope data) and compositional data support that the ingot derives from Hercynian-age ores with high bismuth concentrations. This signature is consistent with the Pyritic belt of south-west Iberia, particularly around the ancient mining areas of Riotinto. It is proposed that the silver for this ingot was extracted from jarosite ores at Riotinto, where it was coarsely refined through cupellation into an ingot still retaining high levels of lead, before being transported to La Rebanadilla, which was a potential point of departure back to the Phoenician homeland. The significance of transporting silver in a form which would have required further refining is discussed in relation to the movement of silver by the Phoenicians in the Iron Age Mediterranean. A new mechanism is proposed to explain the elusive nature of Iberian silver in the archaeological record.","PeriodicalId":46257,"journal":{"name":"Trabajos De Prehistoria","volume":"76 1","pages":"272-285"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42671541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent fieldwork under the scope of the Recovery and Valorisation project of the monument undertaken by the Sintra Municipality allowed constructional aspects of the tomb to be clarified, and the recovery of further osteological and archaeological remains.

The assemblage comprised a minimum of 9 adults (both sexes) and 5 non-adults. Evidence of infectious disease, degenerative and metabolic changes, and a remodelled trepanation performed on a right parietal bone were noted.
