The main objective of this international research project, is the study of the complex triangular relationship between culture, technology and communication that is represented by the Iberian stelae of the Final Bronze Age/Early Iron Age (1200-550 BC). The innovative approach encompasses scientific testing of the prevalent hypotheses on tools used for stelae making based upon archaeometry and geo-archaeology, complemented by experimental archaeology. A multidisciplinary team of researchers and craftspeople cooperated to significantly enhance scientific knowledge on technological aspects of prehistoric stone working. First results from the diverse fields of research, from archaeology and archaeometallurgy, visual culture and landscape studies, geochemical and petrological analyses, will be presented and discussed.

All presentations will be translated simultaneously between English and Spanish. The primary language of the presentations is highlighted in the titles.
