This research has entailed the application of a broad variety of techniques (RTI, 3D laser scanning, intensive surface survey, geophysics), and has involved an interdisciplinary team of researchers of the University of Seville, the University of Southampton and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Our research has been focused on aspects of LBA stelae that have remained largely unexplored, such as their making, their biographies, or the archaeological/spatial dimension of their find-spots.
