Tartessos (also Tartessus) was a harbor city on the south coast of the Iberian peninsula (in modern Andalusia, Spain), at the mouth of the Guadalquivir river. Tartessos at least dates from 1000 BC, about the time when the Phoenicians made contact with the city. However, the city likely began at an unknown, earlier date. The Tartessians were traders, who may have discovered the route to the Tin Islands (Britain or more precisely the Scilly Islands). Trade in Tin was very lucrative in this era since it was necessary for the production of bronze, and the people from Tartessos became important trading partners of the Phoenicians, who nearby built a harbor of their own, Gades (current-day Cádiz). Ancient Greek texts refer to a legendary king of Tartessos, Arganthonios, known for his wealth in silver and minerals. Greek texts say Arganthonios lived many years beyond the normal human lifespan, but Arganthonios may have been the name of several Tartessian kings or their title, giving rise to legends of a single man's longevity. Artifacts linked with the Tartessos culture have been found, but the site of the Tartessos' city is lost. Lost Civilization In the 6th century BC, Tartessos disappears rather suddenly from history. The Romans called the wide bay the Tartessius Sinus though the city was no more. One theory is that the city had been destroyed by the Carthaginians who wanted to take over the Tartessans' trading routes. Another is that it had been refounded, under obscure conditions, as Carpia. When the traveller Pausanias visited Greece in the 2nd century AD (Paus. Desc. 6.XIX.3) he saw two bronze chambers in one of the sanctuaries at Olympia, which the people of Elis claimed was Tartessian bronze: "They say that Tartessus is a river in the land of the Iberians, running down into the sea by two mouths, and that between these two mouths lies a city of the same name. The river, which is the largest in Iberia, and tidal, those of a later day called Baetis, and there are some who think that Tartessus was the ancient name of Carpia, a city of the Iberians." The name "Carpia" possibly survives as El Carpio, a site in a bend of the Guadalquivir, but the origin of its name has been associated with its imposing oldest feature, a Moorish tower erected in 1325 by the engineer responsible for the alcázar of Seville.

Site of Tartessos has been lost—buried under the shifting wetlands that have replaced former estuaries behind dunes at the modern single mouth of the Guadalquivir, where the river delta has gradually been blocked off by a huge sandbar that stretches from the mouth of the Rio Tinto, near Palos de la Frontera, to the riverbank opposite Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The area is now protected as the Parque Nacional de Doñana. (see link) Mythical and Religious Connections Some believe Tartessos was the source of the legend of Atlantis. The similarities between the two legendary societies certainly make this connection seem possible. Both Atlantis and Tartessos are believed to have been advanced societies who collapsed when their cities were lost beneath the waves. The enigmatic Lady of Elx, a high artistic quality, ancient bust of a woman found in southeastern Spain, has been tied with both Atlantis and Tartessos since the statue displays the dress of unrecognized culture, that presumably developed great artistic skill to have produced such a work. Some Tartessian enthusiasts imagine it as a contemporary of Atlantis, with which could have traded. In the Bible, the word Tarshish may refer to Tartessos. Tarshish, like Tartessos, is associated with extensive mineral wealth. Possible Discovery Although several finds have been made in southern Spain that are ascribed to the Tartessan culture, the city itself has not been recovered by professional archeologists, though it may have recently been discovered in Spain's Marisma de Hinojos region. While the discoverers of the site insist it is the lost city of Atlantis, the site is a much better fit for Tartessos. It is within the area of Tartessian artifact finds, it is where Tartessos is described historically, and it is sensibly located near Gades (Cadiz). After all, the Phoenicians built Gades for the sole purpose of trading with Tartessos. The discovery includes a very simple reason for Tartessos' disappearance from history as well, as the region was flooded between 800 and 500 BC, precisely when Tartessos ceased being mentioned in historical texts. This also ties in with Atlantis again, likely the reason for the site's identification. Indeed, this discovery may not only solve one mystery but two; the location of Tartessos as well as the identity of Atlantis.

López-Sáez y su equipo del Instituto de Historia (IH-CSIC) han reconfirmado estos hallazgos y proporcionado una reconstrucción detallada de los paisajes.Según esta investigación, la ciudad de Tartessos estaba en lo que hoy es la ensenada de La Algaida, EspañaDe acuerdo con el estudio, Tartessos y su río homónimo podrían ser el actual Guadiamar, que en su tramo final corría por el caño Travieso hasta desembocar en el “Lago Ligustino”, una laguna costera. La Algaida, entonces una isla, sería Cartare, la capital, que tras rodear la laguna, desembocaría en el Atlántico mediante dos brazos. Los tres brazos mencionados en el poema de Avieno podrían ser los esteros hoy prácticamente secos: Salado de Lebrija, Caño de Jerez y Marisma de Rajaldabas.Paralelamente, las excavaciones en el yacimiento tartésico de Casas del Turuñuelo, en Guareña (Badajoz), han desenterrado los primeros relieves antropomorfos del siglo V a.C. Hasta ahora, la cultura tartésica se consideraba anicónica, representando la divinidad a través de piedras sagradas y motivos animales o vegetales. Sin embargo, este nuevo hallazgo supone un cambio de paradigma en la interpretación de la cultura tartésica.En la presentación del hallazgo, expertos como los directores de la excavación e investigadores del CSIC, Esther Rodríguez y Sebastián Celestino, explicaron a EFE que se trata de las primeras figuras humanas de Tartessos, con rostros idealizados y ornamentados con joyas típicas tartésicas. Estas figuras tienen el potencial de revolucionar la historia del arte antiguo en la península ibérica.Investigaciones recientes han revelado que bajo sus suelos arenosos subyacen formaciones del Plioceno y el Pleistoceno, parte de un sistema de fallas en la Baja AndalucíaEl hallazgo de estos rostros idealizados y sus joyas aporta una nueva dimensión al entendimiento de la cultura tartésica. Rodríguez subrayó: “En cierto modo, cambia la lectura que desde la historia del arte se había realizado sobre la cultura tartésica”.Pedro Mateos, director del Instituto de Arqueología de Mérida (IAM), recordó que las excavaciones en este asentamiento han sido de gran importancia política y económica, y son una referencia en la arqueología del área mediterránea. Aunque el proyecto de excavación está avanzado solo al 30 por ciento, ya han aportado valiosos hallazgos.El último descubrimiento ha sido calificado como una de las noticias más importantes del año en el área de investigación del CSIC, según expresó Margarita Paneque, delegada institucional del CSIC en Andalucía. El impacto de estos hallazgos continúa resonando en la comunidad arqueológica, ofreciendo una visión más completa de la enigmática civilización de Tartessos y su legado en el suroeste de la Península Ibérica.
