Mark Van Strydonck
Majorca and Minorca, the most exotic places in the Mediterranean Sea.
Every year, the archipelago’s beaches attract millions of tourists.
Mark Van Strydonck found more than sand-castles: he encountered an
extraordinarily rich prehistoric culture.
Sanctuaries and lime burials that revealed unique rituals. Bronze
bull heads, lead pectorals and sling-stones from warriors in the service
of Hannibal. The flourishing Bronze and Iron Age culture of the
Balearic Islands has left its traces, from megalithic monuments to in
refined jewelry. The most recent finds and scientific developments are
made tangible in well-founded comments and more than a hundred original
pictures.
A surprising, scientific and substantiated look on Majorca and
Minorca. An elemental study and a first for north-western Europe. The
genesis of the archipelago, the natural fauna and flora, the first human
traces, its colonization, the primitive
architecture: the author reveals the secrets behind the sand-castles.
An impulse to travel with the mind or to visit the islands in a different way.
MARK VAN STRYDONCK is head of the Radiocarbon laboratory at the Royal
Institute of Cultural Heritage in Brussels (Belgium). For more than 25
years he has worked together with well-known Spanish, American and
English scientific institutes performing archaeological investigations
on the Balearic Islands.
