The archeological sites that I have chosen are Bones Pit and Cova de la Sarsa. I've also made a presentation about Habis, Gargoris, Arganthonios and Hamilcar Barca. Finally, as everybody, I've made a presentation about the most recent discoveries about Prehistory in Spain.
Bones Pit is placed in Atapuerca. It's an archeological site where we have found the most ancient hominids in the Iberian Peninsula. It's one of the most important archeological sites all over the world.
Archeological site which belongs to Early Neolithic. It is not far from Valencia. It should be noted that paleoanthropologists found some corpses there, one of them with a trepanation in the skull.
In this presentation, I have explained the most interesting things about Habis, Gargoris, Arganthonios and Hamilcar Barca, four important figures of Prehistory in the Iberian Peninsula.
In 2014, paleoanthropologists have made new discoveries in Atapuerca, Gorham's Cave and in Toledo. In Atapuerca they have found more fossils, in Gorham's Cave a design made by Neanderthals and they have also discovered a Neolithic vessel near Toledo.
The most interesting parts for me are the developed trade of Tartessos because it's incredible how people with very few resources could cross the Mediterranean Sea to exchange materials, Bones Pit, especially "Miguelón", because it contains the most important accumulation of hominids' fossils in the world, and finally the new discovery in Gorham's Cave because it tells us that Neanthertals weren't as stupid as we thought.
Bye!

Hello Salva,
I've just corrected some small mistakes on your post:
- I've replaced "characters" for "figures". Character refers to fictional people, like in novels or films.
- Remember: say something to someone or tell someone something. I've corrected this mistake in the last sentence.
I agree with you about stereotypes. We tend to think that the peoples from the past were very limited, but their progress was extraordinary with respect to navigation, trade, mining...
I also want to remark the extraordinary work done in Atapuerca. This is an example for the whole country. Even with the cuts in the budgets, which have reduced their summer campaign to one month, they have been able make with important findings again and teach the new generations that will continue to work there.
Well done again. I hope you've enjoyed prehistory. Have a nice weekend!
