The Tartessian culture existed from the 9th to the 6th centuries BCE in the south-westernmost part of Spain. The landscape between the modern cities Huelva and Cádiz is defined nowadays by the lower course of the Guadalquivir, but in antiquity this area was covered by a huge gulf that bordered the Mediterranean Sea. Tartessos extended around the coasts of this gulf and the neighboring lands to the north and east of it, both of which are part of the modern province of Andalucía. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/tartessos/](https://www.worldhistory.org/tartessos/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - Anything here you'd push back on? - Is there a related topic you'd like to see covered? - What surprised you most in this definition?
