La Meseta de Requena-Utiel, en el interior de la provincia de Valencia, constituyó en época ibérica el territorio de la ciudad de Kelin. Entre otros aspectos, dicho territorio destacó por presentar una elevada concentración de cuevas con materiales ibéricos, de las cuales claramente cinco son resultado de prácticas rituales en su interior. Estas cuevas rituales fueron espacios estrechamente ligados al proceso de territorialización acaecido en la zona entre los siglos V y III a.C. En el presente artículo planteamos una revisión de sus características, ajuares y cronologías, integrándolas en todo momento en el paisaje y entorno inmediato.
This article shares the strategy for mainstreaming the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the University of Valencia (UV), which, although limited in its scale, may compel other Higher Education Institutions to think in technological and social progress aligned with the 2030 Agenda. It explicates a process driven by the UV, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations (UN), and in collaboration with the Service for Geospatial, Information, and Telecommunications Technologies from the UN Support Base in Valencia (Spain) to prepare the online event: “The United Nations We Want”. It was the culmination of a collaborative project between students and faculties from different scientific, technological, social, legal, humanistic, and health disciplines that structure the University of Valencia. The intention was that new generations experience the role they can have to shape the future we want, while the university community as a whole can become part of transformative institutional change that draws on both top-down and bottom-up strategies in pursuit of Education for Sustainable Development.
This article seeks to contribute to recent scholarship on ritual performances in caves, sensory archaeology and ritual journeys, and to stimulate fresh questions and debate about society, ritual, and mobility in the Iberian Iron Age. It uses an updated methodology for recording and interpreting – more contextually, holistically, and systematically – the multisensory affordances of caves and their landscapes on embodied human movements, experiences, and perceptions. It applies this approach to two caves situated in the territory thought by archaeologists to have been controlled by the Iberian Iron Age oppidum of Edeta/Tossal de Sant Miquel in the Valencia province: both interpreted as the destination for “pilgrimages” and related ritual performances, especially during the fifth to third centuries BC. In particular, the study presents a thick and multifaceted interpretative scenario of ritual flows to, through, and from these underground places, divided analytically into successive experiential stages. It concludes by questioning the current model of Iberian Iron Age ritual as an elite-dominated process and instead emphasises variability in multisensory ritual decision-making, practices and experiences over space, time, and culture.
El sistema educativo universitario se basa en gran medida en clases presenciales. Un evento inesperado como la pandemia de la COVID-19, que estalló durante los primeros meses del 2020, llevó a las autoridades a declarar el estado de alerta y a tomar, entre otras medidas, la interrupción de la actividad docente presencial. El profesorado universitario tuvo que adaptar la actividad docente a un sistema, para muchos, novedoso: la docencia en línea. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar los instrumentos y las estrategias empleadas para dar una rápida respuesta a una situación de emergencia. Nuestro caso se centra en la enseñanza de una asignatura de tercer curso del Grado de Historia en la Universitat de València: metodología Arqueológica, adaptada a un sistema de tutorías y clases por e-learning.El empleo de Blackboard Collaborate ha demostrado ser una herramienta muy positiva que complementa el aula virtual simple y potencia la enseñanza y la tutoría en línea, implementada con cuestionarios en Moodle y Kahoot!. Esta plataforma, en colaboración con el modelo pedagógico de aula inversa como modalidad de aprendizaje, ha sido una estrategia motivadora y efectiva para el estudiantado. Esta adaptación ha permitido mantener la trasmisión de los contenidos con resultados de aprendizaje positivos.
