Warrior Stela, Montejícar-Type Halberd and Ceramic Vessel
The rich archaeological history of Almadén de la Plata has left us an outstanding collection of pieces that make it possible to learn about the communities that inhabited this territory between the 2nd and 1st millennia BC. Among them are the Montejícar-type halberd from cist 5 and the ceramic vessel from cist 20, both recovered during the excavations of the La Traviesa necropolis and dated to the Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). Alongside these materials, the Almadén Stele 2 stands out, an exceptional decorated stele from the Late Bronze Age (9th–8th centuries BC), discovered on the Dehesa del Viar estate. Taken together, these finds constitute valuable evidence of the beliefs, funerary rituals and social organisation of the communities that inhabited the Sevillian Sierra Morena between the Bronze Age and the beginnings of Protohistory.
