“…Three different phases are recognized in this 375x160 m fortified settlement Molina et al, 2017;Schüle, 1980). The third phase presents distinct features of Argaric Culture (Molina et al, 2014;Molina et al, 2016;, including burials under house floors or behind house walls. The more recent tombs in the Cerro de la Virgen site are dated to 1550 BC, indicating that the site was abandoned in approximately 1500 BC (Molina et al, 2014;Molina et al, 2016;Castro et al, 2009).…”

Abstract. Palaeoseismological studies play a crucial role in the seismic characterization of regions with slow moving faults. This is the case of the Central Betic Cordillera, a highly populated area where the record of prehistoric earthquakes is very scarce, despite of being one of the regions with the highest seismic hazard in Spain. We present here a palaeoseismological characterization of the Galera Fault, one of the active faults accommodating deformation in the Central Betic Cordillera. We excavated and analysed several trenches along the fault trace. We quantitatively correlate the results from these trenches, resulting in a surface rupture history involving 7 or 8 events (accounting for the epistemic uncertainties) during the last ca. 24000 yr, with a recurrence interval ranging between 1520 and 1720 yr. Further analysis of this surface rupture history seems to indicate that the Galera Fault is prone to produce earthquakes clusters, as we recorded five events in ca. 400 yr (ca. 1536–1126 BC), and only two events in the next ca. 3200 yr. Using the fault geometry and palaeoseismological data, we also carried out a seismogenic characterization of the fault. This analysis yielded a maximum expected magnitude of 6.7 ± 0.3 and a recurrence interval of 1857 yr. Furthermore, we also present a geodetic rupture scenario for the maximum expected event, involving displacements of up to 0.5 m. Finally, we discuss the possible impact of the deduced palaeoearthquakes in the development of Bronze Age human settlements located in the vicinity of the fault. Other than their intrinsic value, our results will be the basis for future seismic hazard assessment carried out in the Central Betic Cordillera.

“…Pero esta fecha, extraída de una muestra de vida larga, resultaba excesivamente alta (Castro et al, 1993:78, n.3;85), como pudo confirmarse más tarde, tras la datación directa de los restos óseos humanos. Estos proporcionaron una fecha (Ua39406) considerablemente más reciente, de entre 1965-1832 cal BC (Molina et al, 2015).…”

Se presentan los resultados del análisis de los restos de madera localizados en la tumba 3 del asentamiento argárico de Tabayá (Aspe, Alicante), una sepultura de tipo fosa que fue parcialmente cerrada con tablones. Aunque está poco documentada en la zona nororiental del territorio de El Argar, el empleo de la madera no es en absoluto excepcional en el marco de las prácticas funerarias argáricas. Una revisión del registro disponible en todo el territorio argárico muestra que las sepulturas proporcionan, además, el contexto más propicio para su conservación, demostrando que la madera se empleó tanto en la construcción de algunas tumbas como en la elaboración de distintos objetos de ajuar depositados en su interior.

This research addresses the territorial organisation of metallurgical production during the El Argar Bronze Age (2200–1550 cal bc) in the inner areas of El Argar territory through lead‐isotope and trace element analyses of geological copper ores, archaeometallurgical remains and copper‐based artefacts. Results from 31 mineral and 35 archaeological samples suggest that the exploitation of copper resources in the studied region was significant and had a similar impact than other mining districts of El Argar territory. This, therefore, leads the hierarchical and centralised production model to be questioned. It also appears that the copper ore deposits in the coastal regions that were intensively exploited during the Copper Age were used less intensively in the El Argar period. At that time, copper was mostly procured from ore deposits in the inland areas of El Argar territory: that is, ore deposits within the Alpine orogeny hinterland (inland areas of the Betic Cordillera, from Granada to Baza). Other artefacts were sourced from outside the Alpine geological domain, but still on the fringe of El Argar territory (the foothills of the Sierra Morena‐Linares mining district) or even from ore deposits definitely outside El Argar territory itself (the Los Pedroches Variscan region and elsewhere).
