Researchers from the universities of Granada and Alicante, alongside the Museum of Villena, published a study on Wednesday in the 'Trabajos de Prehistoria' journal of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). The study confirms that the amber comprising the Tesoro de Villena originates from the Baltic region.
In a separate development regarding the same cultural heritage, the Tesoro de Villena—recognized as one of the most valuable European Bronze Age collections, possessing incalculable value and dating back 3,000 years—was stolen from the local museum in Alicante (MUVI) during the early hours of a Thursday morning. Initial police investigations into the robbery point toward three suspects.
