Reviews
'I have always had the impression that it is easier to do these types of panoramic views and states of affairs from a distance than when you are on the ground, as it is common to get lost in details. But whether it is from abroad or from our territory, this work should stimulate the realization of more methodological and knowledge updates in an agile and exhaustive way on the pre-Roman material culture of the Iberian Peninsula in a transversal, transcultural and diachronic perspective.' - Dr. Raimon Graells i Fabregat [translated] (2022): Complutum
