The primary domestication of olive (Olea europaea L.) in the Levant dates back to the Neolithic period, around 6,000-5,500 BC, as some archeological remains attest.Cultivated olive trees are reproduced clonally, with sexual crosses being the sporadic events that drive the development of new varieties. In order to determine the genomic changes which have occurred in a modern olive cultivar, the genome of the Picual cultivar, one of the most popular olive varieties, was sequenced. Additional 40 cultivated and 10 wild accessions were re-sequenced to elucidate the evolution of the olive genome during the domestication process. It was found that the genome of the 'Picual' cultivar contains 79,667 gene models, of which 78,079 were protein-coding genes and 1,588 were tRNA. Population analyses support two independent events in olive domestication, including an early possible genetic bottleneck. Despite genetic
M.ª OLIVA RODRÍGUEZ-ARIZA (*) FRANCISCO GÓMEZ CABEZA (*) EVA MONTES MOYA (*) RESUMENSe presentan aquí los resultados obtenidos de la excavación del Túmulo 20 de la Necrópolis ibérica de Tútugi. Este túmulo fue saqueado en 1916 y los materiales fueron recuperados y publicados por Cabré y Motos en 1920, entre ellos se encontraba la Dama de Galera. La excavación ha puesto al descubierto un complejo estructural con dos fases constructivas. La primera fase consta de una cámara cuadrangular con pasillo de acceso, ambos excavados en la roca, y con un pilar central de adobe que posiblemente sostenía el techo. En una segunda fase la cámara es rellenada por piedras y tierra y se recortaría la roca para conformar una plataforma circular de 13 m de diámetro que es pintada de rojo. En el centro de esta plataforma se construye, como proyección de las estructuras subterrá-neas, un espacio cuadrangular con corredor de entrada. Este edificio al aire libre queda enmarcado dentro de la plataforma por la forma del lingote chipriota pintado en blanco.
