The study of skull fragments from the Olèrdola (Olèrdola, Barcelona) and Molí d'Espígol (Tornabous, Lleida) sites has provided new evidence that would allow the ritual of "severed heads" from the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula to be located, for the first time, among the Iberian groups of Cessetani and Ilergetes. The discovery, led by UAB researchers, allows the southern border of this practice, traditionally associated with the Indigetes and Laietani who lived north of the Llobregat River, to be expanded.
