Its appearance in classical sources (e.g., Herodotos, Strabo, Pliny, and many others) makes it a problem of ancient history, but our lack of internal written sources other than the still-undeciphered inscriptions means the weight of the internal evidence lies in archaeological investigation, and any new pieces of the puzzle (including epigraphical) are likely to come from the trenches. Preface, or Why Tartessos Matters Tartessos is, and has been since the early twentieth century, an important topic in Spanish academia, even a key piece for the reconstruction of the pre-Roman history of Iberia, including areas of Portugal.

Tartessos and the Phoenicians in Iberia SEBASTIÁN CELESTINO A N D C A R O L I N A LÓ P E Z - R U I Z The song later goes on to say that, although fifty years have passed since the Crayton brothers murdered Lucius Clay and sank to their own deaths in quick sand trying to steal his money, on full moon nights "you can hear three young men screaming" while "you can hear one old man laugh.TARTESSOS A N D T H E P H O E N I C I A N S I N IB E R I A Shortly before they sink and die themselves, they can hear the old man "laughing in a voice as loud as thunder." But after only taking a few steps, they discover that they are running in quick sand, and they panic, screaming, unable to get out. Afterwards, they go back to the shack, pick up the money, and run. The Cable brothers then attack Lucius, killing him, and dump his body in the swamp. Late one night, they sneak up on Lucius, who has just dug up his "13 rusty mason jars" filled with money. These three brothers are described as being "white trash," "sneaky," and "belligerent." They soon grow jealous of the old man and plot to kill him, steal his money, and feed his corpse to the alligators. The antagonists, the Crayton Boys, live in Carver's Creek- a neighboring wilderness just miles away from Wooley Swamp. According to the song, Lucius Clay lives out in the Wooley Swamp and digs up his money just to run his fingers through it. The lyrics of "The Legend of Wooley Swamp" tell a ghost story about a myth in which an elderly miser, Lucius Clay, is filled with greed and cares only about the money he keeps buried in the area in which he lives, called Booger Woods.
