Las Capellanías

Las Capellanías is a prehistoric funerary complex in Cañaveral de León, Huelva, Spain. 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. The necropolis was found in 2022. A stela found in 2023 has carvings including a headdress and necklace, usually associated with female burials, but also two swords and male genitalia. It has been described as "gender-bending" and "showing that the social roles depicted by these standardized iconographies were more fluid than previously thought".
