RT Journal Article T1 The Phoenician diaspora in the westernmost Mediterranean: recent discoveries A1 Suárez Padilla, José A1 Jiménez-Jáimez, Víctor José A1 Caro-Herrero, José Luis K1 Arqueología AB Important discoveries over the past 15 years in the coastal area between Huelva and Málaga in Spain have illuminated the beginnings of the eighth-century BC Phoenician diaspora into the Western Mediterranean. Here, the authors combine Bayesianmodelling of recently published radiocarbon dates with the latest archaeological data to investigate the Phoenician presence in southern Iberia. Their assessment of its significance for the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages in the Western Mediterranean contributes not only to understanding the integration of the Phoenicians into local communities, but also to apprehending the mechanisms of colonisation and pre-colonial situations elsewhere in protohistoric Europe and other world contexts PB Cambridge Journals YR 2021 FD 2021 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/22974 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/22974 LA spa NO Antiquity 2021.
