Last march 20th was held the VIII Session of the CISPAC about Cycle of theses under discussion. David Fontán Bestilleiro, researcher of the HISTAGRA group, and Tania Mosquera Castro, from the GEPN-ATT group, were the interventors, both from the University of Santiago de Compostela.

David presented the project “Traballando a natureza. Sustentabilidade histórica e memoria biocultural dos agroecosistemas da Galicia Atlántica (s. XVIII – XXI)”. He prepared a historical analysis of the common spaces of Galician Atlantic agriculture in terms of environmental, economic and social sustainability.

The second part was carried out by Tania, who presented the research " “A arte das sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras no cuadrante NW da Península Ibérica". In it he commented on the artistic finds in Cova Eirós. This research questions and updates historiographic theses that did not consider that art could exist in certain moments of the Paleolithic in the peninsular northwest.
