For a team of archaeologists digging in southwest Spain, the discovery of a Bronze/Iron Age stela—a funerary stone slab with carvings depicting an important individual—would have been exciting enough...
The excavation, taking place in the 3000-year-old funerary complex of Las Capellanías, in Cañaveral de León, Spain, uncovered a stela depicting a human figure with detailed face, hands and feet, a headdress, necklace, two swords and male genitals.
Prior to this discovery, archaeologists had interpreted features such as a headdress and necklace on a stela as representing a female form, while the inclusion of weaponry such as swords would be interpreted as male "warrior" stelae...
This is the third stela to be found by the team in this location, providing archaeologists with fascinating insight into the funerary rituals of the time. The location of these finds, and the Las Capellanías funerary complex, is also significant as it is on what would have been an important natural pathway linking to main river basins—forming a communications highway of its day.
The team believes that the location of Las Capellanías on this highway is significant, showing that decorated stelae also had a role as territorial markers.

What possible reason do they present to conflate a headdress and necklace with femininity?
Yeah, that crap about fluid gender is ridiculous.
It could be just me, but the phallic-shaped symbol on the headstone would remove any possibility of it representing female.
They had never met Brooklyn Italians.
Globohomo is an unstoppable force. Studies like this are meant to give it ammunition to spread its evil gospel. This will be blaring as one of the top news in most international new feeds next week, and the week after that, it will be required reading assignment for public schools across the US.
“”Trying hard to jam woke transgender ideology into late prehistory.””
Reminds me of that woke PhD anthropologist who when asked if we can determine the gender of an excavated skeleton, stated......no. Many of the people present began laughing at the ridiculous statement.
Great example of when PhD stands for

morons
The dummies would say that the two swords represent that the male was about to be castrated cuz he had always felt he was a “she”
Racisms!/sarc
Even back then…size mattered
I don’t know about the swords, but the “male genitals” would be a good clue.
