A first map of the river Guadalquivir at 6500 years BP

Abstract

For the first time a map of the gulf, estuary and mouth of the Guadalquivir River is presented for the period about 6500 years before present (Flandrian Transgression). In the course of twenty years of interdisciplinary work the authors had to develop the method and appropriate techniques to achieve the necessary information. The map of the Guadalquivir at the time of the Neolithic-Chalcolithic transition should contribute to a better understanding of prehistory of the Atlantic-Mediterranean area of the Iberian Peninsula.
