The Universidad de Huelva has just published number 14 of the Onoba. Monografías series: El antiguo emporio de Huelva (siglos X-VI A. C.). Síntesis histórica y estudio de sus cerámicas griegas by Fernando González de Canales and Jorge Llompart Gómez. This is a magnificent archaeological study on the historical evolution of the emporium settlement of Huelva from the middle 10th century BC to the middle of the 6th century BC, based on the analysis of 590 Greek vases from the Geometric period (36 specimens) and from the Archaic period (554 specimens), recovered in urban excavations carried out in the city since the second half of the 20th century. The book, of 512 pages, presents the catalogue of the 590 vases with 157 plates corresponding to the graphic documentation of each one (drawings and colour photographs) of excellent quality. Catalogue on which the conclusions drawn by the authors are based and which will undoubtedly be essential to understand the characteristics and the role played by the Huelva emporium between Phoenicians, Greeks an Tartessians in Antiquity.
