The artworks were found during ongoing excavations at Casas del Turuñuelo, an ancient Tartessian site in southwestern Spain, according to a translated statement.
The Tartessos people were an ancient civilization that first settled in the Iberian peninsula around the eighth century B.C. and were known for their elaborate writing system. By the fourth century B.C., they mysteriously vanished.

Would be interesting to learn how these people disappeared. We're they assimilated into a different society, taken away as slaves, maybe wiped out by disease.
