The Hall of Prehistory at Madrid’s National Archaeological Museum is the site for this voyage to Spain before recorded history. The program sets the natural scene in which Stone Age man lived and shows us the fossil remains of the animals represented on the walls of the Altamira Caves, and the tools with which they were hunted. It documents the development of agriculture in the Iberian peninsula; shows the fascinating Albuñol Bat Cave in Granada and its trove of artifacts—tools, ceramics, skeletal remains; and traces the various cultural stages of Spain through metallurgical and ceramic finds of increasing complexity and sophistication. The program concludes with the arrival of a new Indo-European people, with different customs and styles; together with the cultures of southwestern Spain, they would provide the framework for the development of historic Spain.
