Excavations in the necropolis of Turmiel. A group whose components are useful determinants of an activity, that of the labourer, perhaps related to the profession of the deceased or his economic interests, but which in any case allow us to establish the existence of a specialised activity around which the Greco-Latin calendar based on the growth of crops revolved.

The alloy of copper with tin appeared for the first time in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula in the Argaric period. In this study we have compiled all the published compositional analyses in order to assess the frequency and use of this alloy. The data show that some objects such as halberds were never made of bronze and that it is in personal adornments (bracelets, rings and earrings) that this alloy is most frequently detected. The chromatic effect of the metals and alloys (copper, bronze, silver) and their combination in grave goods or the greater or lesser social value given to the different metals seem to explain their choice and use better than the criteria of technological or functional improvement in this phase of the Bronze Age. It is suggested that the first bronzes may have been objects imported from other regions of the Iberian Peninsula or Europe.
Objects of ornamentation can be considered frequent elements among archaeological materials. They seem to be very simple pieces, but we do not know the extent of their significance. Through the study of the collections from the Vera Basin, as well as from other sites in the Southeast, we will approach the valuation of these objects.
The origin of the Roman tribes is a question that is still hotly debated today. In pre-Struscan monarchic times the Roman population was apparently divided into the three tribes of Tities, Ramnes and Luceres; this division, based on archaic gentile structures, was made on the basis of a rational distribution of the population with the aim of achieving a better administration of the state apparatus that would allow for greater efficiency in military recruitment.
Colonia Barcino has been and still is one of the most studied and best known Roman cities in the Peninsula thanks to the constant work of a wide range of researchers who have dealt with all aspects of it.
The heads studied belong to a votive deposit of the Etruscan – Lazio1 – Campanian type. The votive offering and its meaning.
This paper deals with the history of research on the Greek presence in Iberia during the 20th century. It analyses the historical idealism and what we could call the philological archaeology of the works of Schulten, Obermaier, Carpenter and Bosch Gimpera in the first half of the century, the great figure of García y Bellido, the positivist archaeology of the 1960s and 1970s, led by Gloria Trías, the new excavations carried out in the 1980s, and the new approaches of the 1990s, in which an attempt is made to reconstruct the history of this process from the point of view of the consequences that this commercial action had on the economic, social and political development of the communities involved in the exchange with the Greek world.
Los vasos de la tumba 43 de Baza forman un conjunto homogéneo no sólo cronológicamente, con unafecha hacia mediados del siglo I v sino iconográficamenteya que, sin repeticiones, reunen las tres escenas más frecuentes en los vasos áticos procedentes del mundo ibérico andaluz. En este trabajo propongo una lectura y una interpretación iconográfica conjunta para las tres grandes crateras. Unos vasos cuyo fin fue, desde el momento de su adquisición, exclusivardentefunerario. Sus imágenes, desde la mirada ibérica, pudieron interpretarse como modelo y expresión del imaginario de la muerte: los caballos psicopompos, el banquete del Más Allá o la plenitud en lo divino del ámbito dionisíaco.
In this paper we present an ascus made around 300 BC in the Apulian city of Canosa. This vase belongs to the group of so-called ‘Scylla ascos’. The upper part of the ascos is decorated with the plastic figure of this sea monster, described in the Odyssey, which devoured sailors trying to avoid the whirlpool of Charybdis. The iconographic programme of these vessels alludes to the journey to the afterlife through evil; for in the Surithalic world Scylla is a daimonfunerario who leads the souls of the deceased to the Isles of the Blessed.
Drawing, with the representation of forms by means of a silhouette line containing spots of colour, is the first means of expression and communication, the oldest manifestation of the art of mankind, predating writing.
