Summary

The earliest Greek pottery at the coast of Málaga comprise two Middle Geometric II skyphoi from La Rebanadilla, on the mouth of the Guadalhorce River. They are associated with local, Phoenician, Cypriot and Villanovan ceramics, all of them part of feasting tableware. The Geometric pottery from La Rebanadilla is dated to the second half of the 9th century BCE by means of calibrated radiocarbon dates. In the 8th century BCE, Greek imports were not consumed at coastal Málaga, except for a transport amphora from Cerro del Villar. Despite the scarcity of Greek imports during the 8th century BCE, skyphoi of Greek type were produced in Phoenician workshops in the region of Málaga and became surprisingly common in the next century. This new local shape became common at sites such as Toscanos, demonstrating that the ritual consumption of wine with skyphoi was appropriated by the Phoenicians.

Porites panamensis is the scleractinian coral with the widest latitudinal distribution in the eastern tropical Pacific. Here, we report the occurrence of P. panamensis in an estuarine environment of the central Pacific coast of Colombia at the rocky reef of Los Negritos, Málaga Bay. Porites panamensis seems to withstand a wide range of environmental settings, including areas with unfavourable conditions for the survival of most other corals. Such wide tolerance may explain its broad latitudinal distribution in the eastern tropical Pacific.
