Hand imprints in rock art are perhaps one of the oldest forms of expression created by humans and their symbolic capacity. In this documentary, leading experts on Palaeolithic art tell us about their chronology, interpretation and conservation. At the same time, Palaeolithic lifeforms have been recreated based on archaeological evidence and experimental work in an attempt to return to this world of transition which dates back 40,000 years, where two fundamental species for our history coexisted: Neanderthals and Sapiens.

 

For linguists, the Visigoth slates have always been a challenge. For historians, they have provided a large quantity of data that allows us to find out more about this society in the High Middle Ages.

During the 6th and 5th century B.C. the area of Attica in Greece was well known for its high quality pottery production, which was exported all over the Mediterranean in the form of luxury products. Proof of this long distance trade has even reached as far as Extremadura, where Greek pottery has appeared on Iron Age archaeological sites such as Capote or Cancho Roano. This documentary shows some of the remains found and the implications of the finds when it comes to studying trade and the role of the social elite.
