“…2 Mirasiviene lies barely 3 km to the East of Setefilla, a wellknown Bronze Age and Iron Age site (including settlement and necropolis) that was first excavated in the 1920s by George Bonsor andR. Thouvenot, then in the 1970-1980s by Professor María Eugenia Aubet, and for which there is an ample body of literature (Bonsor and Thouvenot 1928;Aubet 1975Aubet , 1978Aubet , 1981Aubet , 1997Turbón 1981;Aubet and Serna 1982;Aubet et al 1983;Torres 1996;Díaz-Guardamino et al 2015;Brandherm and Krueger 2017;etc.). This fact alone would have made Mirasiviene very interesting by itself.…”

“…Our recent research has combined the intensive study of stelae findspots at a micro-and meso-scale through archaeological fieldwork and landscape analysis with the high-resolution study of stelae from a biographical point of view by means of petrography and a range of digital imaging techniques (García Sanjuán et al 2006, 2017Díaz-Guardamino et al 2015, 2019. Key to this research is the investigation of the activities directly related to the stelae and their findspots, as well as the re-evaluation of settlement data in connection to them.…”

Iberian ‘warrior’ stelae have captured the imagination of researchers and the public for more than a century. Traditionally, stelae were considered ‘de-contextualised’ monuments, and research typically focused on the study of their iconography, paying little or no attention to their immediate contexts. As a result, despite the large number of these stelae known to date (c. 140) and the ample body of literature that has dealt with them, fundamental questions remain unanswered. This paper aims to demonstrate the potential of a multidisciplinary and contextual approach to push forward the research agenda on these monuments through a case study. Firstly, we introduce the Mirasiviene stela and the methods deployed for its investigation, which include a variety of digital imaging techniques, petrography, pXRF, intensive survey and multiscalar spatial analysis. Secondly, we discuss the results in relation to three main topics: stela biography, social practices and landscape context. Comparisons to the well-known nearby Bronze Age and Iron Age site of Setefilla are made throughout the discussion. Ultimately, this paper makes a case for the stelae of Mirasiviene and Setefilla being polyvalent monuments made by local artisans, that served both as landmarks and memorials in connection with dense late second and early first millennium BCE settlement patterns in the region. Probably linked to elites, ‘houses’ or kin groups of this time, stelae were set in symbolically charged places, liminal spaces nearby water, burials and pathways, attracting a range of ritual activities throughout the centuries. The study of the newly discovered Mirasiviene stela shows that multidisciplinary, cutting-edge non-destructive archaeology can shed significant new light on these prehistoric monuments, thus providing a glimpse of what in our opinion is a paradigm shift in the research of similar monuments throughout Europe.

“…The recording of carvings or three-dimensional objects has been achieved with Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) or Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. RTI was used to study the biographies (erasures, superpositions) of the LBA stelae of Setefilla and Almadén de la Plata 2 (Sevilla) (Díaz-Guardamino and Wheatley 2013;Díaz-Guardamino et al 2015). Photogrammetry was used in the study of the shell beadwork (once attached to textiles) at the 3 rd millennium BC tholos of Montelirio (Díaz-Guardamino et al 2016).…”

Las investigaciones arqueológicas de las comunidades agrarias del VI al II milenios a. C. en la Península Ibérica han sufrido transformaciones fundamentales en los últimos 25 años. Este artículo trata de proporcionar una visión general de esta investigación considerando tres temas: 1) los cambios en la teoría, la perspectiva y la práctica, 2) el descubrimiento de nuevos sitios o tipos de sitios, y 3) la evolución de las metodologías y técnicas analíticas. Se concluye con algunas reflexiones sobre posibles futuros desafíos y direcciones para la investigación.

Bu makalenin amacı 2015-2017 yılları arasında Phaselis ve teritoryumunda yürütülen yüzey araştırmaları kapsamında, kentin teritoryum sınırları içerisinde bulunan Tahtalı Dağ'ın kuzeyinde konumlanan Beşiktaş mevkii ile Teke Dağ'ın doğu eteklerindeki Yaylakuzdere ve Çürük Dağ'ın batısındaki Üçoluk Yaylası Kırtepe mevkilerinde tespit edilen üç lahit mezar ve bir lahit kapağının yeni sayısal belgeleme metotlarından RTI teknolojisi kullanılarak epigrafik ve arkeolojik olarak değerlendirilmesidir. Söz konusu lahit mezarların üçü podyumlu olup, oldukça iyi korunmuş durumdadırlar ve lahit tekneleri zengin motiflerle bezenmiştir. Beşiktaş mevkiindeki lahit ile Kırtepe mevkiindeki lahit mezarlardan biri üzerinde mezar yazıtı tespit edilebilmiştir. Yaylakuzdere'de bulunan mezarın ise, teknesi oldukça tahrip edilmiştir. Bu sebeple burada sadece semerdam kapak üzerindeki mezar yazıtı değerlendirilmeye alınmıştır. Söz konusu mezarların dördü de hem arkeolojik hem de epigrafik açıdan değerlendirilmiş ve Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi'ne tarihlendirilmiştir. Phaselis teritoryumunda böylesi görkemli mezarların bulunması, bölgenin söz konusu dönemdeki ekonomik refahına ve entelektüel birikimine işaret etmektedir.
