Silver Diadem Found in Spain May Point to Bronze Age Woman’s Political Power
In 2014, archaeologists unearthed a hoard of ornate objects buried alongside a woman at La Almoloya, a Bronze Age site in southeastern Spain. Now, reports Alberto Quero for Spanish newspaper El País, researchers are theorizing that this unknown woman may have a ruler of El Argar, a class-based civilization that thrived on the Iberian Peninsula between 2200 and 1550 B.C.
Scholars from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) discovered the 25- to 30-year-old woman’s remains near those of a 35- to 40-year-old man who could have been her consort. As the researchers write in the journal Antiquity, radiocarbon dating suggests that the couple was buried around the mid-17th century B.C., at the height of the Argar society’s development.
