[ES] En enero y febrero de 2011 se llevó a cabo la primera campaña de excavaciones en una zona de enterramientos de inicios de la Edad del Hierro en la isla de Corisco. Los trabajos pusieron al descubierto la que es la mayor necrópolis prehistórica del África centro-occidental. Uno de los rasgos más interesantes es el cambio de ritual que se documentó a mediados del primer milenio d.C. Las tumbas poseen ricos ajuares cerámicos y metálicos, con abundantes hachas, collares, brazaletes y lingotes-monedas.
[EN] In January and February 2011 the first season of excavations was carried out in a funerary area from the Early Iron Age in the island of Corisco. The archaeological works discovered the largest prehistoric cemetery known to date in West-Central Africa. One of the most interesting features is a ritual change documented around the mid-1st millennium AD. The burials yielded plenty of artefacts, including many axes, necklaces, bracelets and iron currency units.
Los trabajos arqueológicos que se recogen en este artículo se encuadran en el Proyecto financiado por el Ministerio de Cultura del Gobierno de España, dentro del Programa Anual de Arqueología en el Exterior, y la AECID.
