Peñalosa, Bronze Age archaeological site in Baños de la Encina, Spain
The excavation site contains multiple layers of ancient dwellings, pottery workshops, and burial grounds dating from the Argaric period in southeastern Spain.
The settlement at Peñalosa flourished during the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1450 BCE, revealing advanced metalworking techniques and social organization patterns.
Archaeologists discovered numerous ceramic vessels and tools that demonstrate the transmission of pottery-making skills between adults and children in the community.
The archaeological site requires advance reservations for visits, and researchers must obtain permits from local authorities to conduct studies or investigations.
Laboratory analysis of pottery fragments from Peñalosa reveals specific production methods through X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy techniques.
