Las Capellanías

Las Capellanías is a prehistoric funerary complex in Cañaveral de León, Huelva, Spain [1]. Excavation in the area began after road construction workers found a stela in June 2018, and was carried out by staff and students from the universities of Seville, Huelva and Durham [1]. The necropolis was discovered in 2022 [1]. Another stela, found in 2023, has carvings including depictions of a headdress and necklace, usually associated with female burials, but also two swords and male genitalia [1]. It has been described as "gender-bending" and "showing that the social roles depicted by these standardized iconographies were more fluid than previously thought" [1].
