The proceedings of the colloquium "Ivory and Elephants in the Iberian Peninsula and the Western Mediterranean", held at the MARQ in November 2008 as part of the close collaboration that the Archaeological Museum of Alicante has maintained in recent years with the German Archaeological Institute in Madrid, have just been published in issue 16.1 of the IBERIA ARCHAEOLOGICA series. The book contains fifteen studies dedicated to the research of ivory from archaeological contexts from all periods, from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, signed by a large group of specialists. The MARQ conserves and exhibits in its rooms one of the most important collections of prehistoric ivory objects in Spain.
