Earliest securely modelled Phoenician-associated quarter at Huelva
Bayesian modelling places the start of a Phoenician-associated Huelva settlement quarter within 906–827 BCE at the reported 68.2 per cent interval, most plausibly in the later ninth century.

Interpretation and caveats
The quarter is evidence for resident or repeated eastern Mediterranean-associated participation within an indigenous estuarine settlement, not proof that all Huelva became a colony at one instant.
Event context
Classification
Event type: settlement foundation and cross cultural interaction
Evidence layer: archaeological
Timeline role: regional core
People and places
Locations: Huelva, Cabezo de San Pedro and lower-city contexts, Phoenician-associated and indigenous interaction network
Why it matters to the timeline
The event is central to the required earliest-Phoenician and indigenous/colonial-interaction questions.
Alternative interpretations
- The reported 68.2 per cent modelled start interval is 906–827 BCE; publication and calibration choices should be preserved when refined. (high confidence)
