The woman, who passed away between the ages of 25 and 30, was buried with an assortment of valuable items, including a silver diadem.
The ancient burial ground of a female belonging to a European Bronze Age civilisation known as El Argar that dates back to the second millennium BC may shed light on what role women could have played in that society, a new study led by researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona suggests.
The burial, a large ceramic jar designated as Grave 38, was originally discovered in 2014 at the La Almoloya archaeological site located in Spain, with the burial itself resting beneath the floor of what seems to be the governing hall, filled with benches in a palace , according to Science Alert.

As the many broken, battered bodies recovered from ancient burials can attest, the European Bronze Age was a tough time to be alive. Most historians and archaeologists have assumed these combative societies were led by men. But a new analysis of a richly adorned female ruler buried in a Bronze Age palace suggests women could also occupy the throne. There’s no way to know the true extent of her power, researchers note, but the find could lead others to reconsider their assumptions about the status of women throughout prehistory.
