García Sanjuán, Leonardo; Wheatley, David W.; Lozano Rodríguez, José Antonio; Evangelista, Lucy S.; González García, Antonio César; Cintas-Peña, MartaAntequera in southern Spain is widely recognised as an outstanding example of the European megalithic phenomenon. One of its most remarkable features is the evident relationship between conspicuous natural formations and human-built monuments. Here, the authors report the results of their investigation of a tomb newly discovered at the site of Piedras Blancas at the foot of La Peña de los Enamorados, a limeston...

The use and abuse of cinnabar in Late Neolithic and Copper Age Iberia
Emslie, Steven D.; Silva, Ana Maria; Valera, António Carlos; Vijande Vila, Eduardo; Melo, Linda; Curate, Francisco; Fidalgo, Daniel; Inácio, NunoIn this study, total mercury (THg) was analyzed in archaeological human bone from 23 sites dating to between the Middle Neolithic and the Antiquity. A total of 370 individuals from individual or collective burials was sampled, mostly using cortical bone from the humerus. These individuals were recovered from over 50 different funerary structures ranging from tholoi, pits, caves, and hypogea. Although cinnabar (...

Mercury in archaeological human bone: biogenic or diagenetic?
Emslie, Steven D.; Alderman, Audrey; McKenzie, Ashley; Brasso, Rebecka; Taylor, Alison R.; Molina Moreno, María; Cambra-Moo, OscarWe investigated mercury (Hg) in human bone from archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula where the cultural use of cinnabar (HgS) as a pigment, offering or preservative in burial practices has been documented from the 4th to 2nd millennia cal B.C. (Late Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age). Previous analyses have shown high levels of total mercury (THg) in human bone at numerous Neolithic and Chalcolithic...
