    Análisis de los principales vestigios arqueológicos de las fases fenicias de la necrópolis de Villaricos (Almería)
    (Universidad de Murcia, CEPOAT, 2025-05-03) Ruiz Abellán, Miguel; Sin departamento asociado
    The necropolis of Villaricos is the biggest Phoenician cemetery in the Iberian Peninsula, with burials, cremations and large structures such as hypogea. Through the study of its material rests a huge quantity of information about the interests and life of the Levantine settlers who founded and lived in the city of Baria between the 7th and 3rd centuries B.C., which is associated with the necropolis, can be inferred. Among the main vestiges of this site stand ostrich eggs, very numerous in this case, and with a huge symbolic component, archaeofaunistic rests, mainly birdlife, statuettes, steles, pieces of goldsmith, weapons and ceramics, which allow us to understand a fundamental necropolis for the comprehension of the Phoenician presence in the extreme West in its funerary scope.
