Museum in Andalucía
The Archeological Museum of Granada represents a very old region of habituation. In this area many caves have been found.
Even 1.5 million years ago people have been living here.
The Museum is under construction so there was a small collection of artifacts exhibited - from paleolithics till the Al-Ándalus.
It is hard to find maps with archeological sites so I will upload the map of this region. I do not know which sites can be visited.
In the Bronze Age the El Argar or Algaric Culture people lived here. They lived in fortified settlements strategical near rivervalleys, farmlands and mineral outcrops. Houses were build on slopes with manmade terraces. They had a remarkable custum of burying their dead in the subsoil beneath their dwellings. The deceased was interred in a foetal position, dressed and wearing his/her personal clothes and ornaments, rich gravegoods as pottery, vessels and food, tools or weapons.
