TRAVELS THROUGH PREHISTORIC SPAIN
Professor Gary Lock (Emeritus Fellow)
Spain is a large country with many different landscapes presenting a wide range of prehistoric monuments. This talk will be a chronological review of the main monument types covering most of Spain together with some background information. Included will be the cave paintings of Cantabria (could Neanderthals have started them?) and the castros of Asturias (were Iron Age people fond of saunas?). Some sites are truly remarkable like the scenes within Levantine art and the settlement of Los Millares. Other categories of site are interesting for their variation, like the thousands of dolmen which occur all over Spain both in large cemeteries and as isolated individuals. So, if you only know Spain through beaches and the Costas, now is your chance to dig deeper.
Tea, coffee, and biscuits provided from 5.00pm. No booking required
