In the late 1800s, archaeologists began discovering engraved stone plaques in Neolithic (3500-2500 BC) graves in southern Portugal and Spain. About the size of one's palm, usually made of slate, and incised with geometric or, more rarely, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic designs, these plaques have mystified generations of researchers. What do their symbols signify? How were the plaques produced? Were they worn during an individual's lifetime, or only made at the time of their death? Why, indeed, were the plaques made at all?
Employing an eclectic range of theoretical and methodological lenses, Katina Lillios surveys all that is currently known about the Iberian engraved stone plaques and advances her own carefully considered hypotheses about their manufacture and meanings. After analyzing data on the plaques' workmanship and distribution, she builds a convincing case that the majority of the Iberian plaques were genealogical records of the dead that served as durable markers of regional and local group identities. Such records, she argues, would have contributed toward legitimating and perpetuating an ideology of inherited social difference in the Iberian Late Neolithic.

Select Praise for March on Children: "The Story of James Meredith's March Against Fear": "Every black over 30-years-old should read this book and teach their children all of their history. Anyone who doesn't know their history is doomed to repeat it." James Meredith Ole Miss - 1962 "Ms. Rankin's book about James Meredith is right on point. In the 1960's, he was a loner, impassive by the Civil Rights Movement because he strongly believed the U.S. Constitution is all that is needed to guarantee his rights as a citizen. This wonderfully written book helps children to understand who James Meredith really is, and why, from an early age, he began a mission to change Mississippi and America into a better place for all citizens. Stylistically, her vivid storytelling, without a doubt, is a spellbinding experience for any child. I hope Ms. Rankin's book will be used by educators across the country as a viable tool to teach children in their early learning process the "truth" about James Meredith and why he believes the word "citizen" is the most important one in the U.S. Constitution." Judy Alsobrooks Meredith, Ph.D
