Para ello, en primer lugar, se realizará un análisis exhaustivo de la fuente primaria, el Anti…
Facial Decorations under the Microscope
This paper focuses on a selection of Phoenician-Punic artifacts from the western Mediterranean dating from the 7th to 2nd centuries b.c. It examines some examples of coroplastic art (musician figurines, masks, and protomae) and ostrich eggshells bearing facial decorations, and discusses the different ways in which these decorative motifs have been interpreted in modern scholarship and highlights the centrality of sex and gender in most of these t…
Creating Communities of Mourners through the Sense of Taste
Phoenicians and Punic people constructed a liminal community in the funerary realm that this article will explore, highlighting the centrality of taste through the consumption of bread. The study will unfold in three stages: It will begin with an overview of the recent interest in the “archaeology of senses.” In a second step, the written sources and the material and visual culture related to the existence of the so-called bread of mourning will …

Cuerpos estereotipados, cuerpos enterrados, cuerpos representados, cuerpos cambiantes
En este trabajo abordamos distintas vías de aproximación a las identidades corporales femeninas y a su agencia, desde una perspectiva transversal, tomando como referencia algunos casos de estudio procedentes de contextos seleccionados de la prehistoria y protohistoria de la península ibérica, así como del Mediterráneo Antiguo. Tres ejes principales ordenarán este acercamiento: en primer lugar, una reflexión sobre los estereotipos de las imágenes …

Relational Identities and Other-Than-Human Agency in Archaeology
This edited book explores the meaning of relational personhood and other-than-human agency through nine chapters, each dealing with a specific case study. The volume also includes an introduction by the two editors and a concluding chapter by Harrison-Buck.The editors' introduction situates personhood and nonhuman agency in archaeological theory and practice, which are defined as two interrelated “problem domains.” On the one hand, nonhuman or ot…
Funerary Ritual
This chapter explores the funerary rites in the Phoenician-Punic world from a comprehensive point of view, and it focuses on the common points arising from a large amount of data. The concern for burying their deceased and the belief in the soul’s afterlife show that the Phoenicians considered death as a transformation rather than as the end of a person’s life. Through our access to archaeological remains and written sources, we can reconstruct t…
Creating beings
Exploring Past Ontologies
This paper focuses on ideas of body construction in the Phoenician-Punic western Mediterranean. I concentrate on the study of ‘bottle-shaped’ terracottas and examine their connections with anthropomorphized and zoomorphic jugs and the bottle-shaped idol, a symbol engraved on the stelae of tophets. Exploring the Phoenician-Punic isomorphism between jugs, figurines and bodies introduces us to the study of the creation of a specific body world in te…
The Use of Facial Characteristics as Engendering Strategies in Phoenician-Punic Studies
Facial characteristics such as discs on cheeks or exaggerated chins have been traditionally used to interpret Phoenician-Punic materials as representing either females or males. Beards and pointed chins, for instance, have been considered male attributes for terracotta masks, while disks have been interpreted as feminine makeup when present on figurines and ostrich eggshells. However, problems and even paradoxes of interpretation emerge when such…
Miniatures from domestic contexts in Iron Age Iberia
This article reviews a set of miniatures from domestic contexts in Iron Age eastern Iberia, and interprets them in terms of their role in forging social personae. After an introduction to the historical case under consideration, the miniatures are described in terms of their typology and their contexts of provenance are outlined. Though not abundant, they tend to occur in central places in the landscape; specifically, they are often found in hous…

Music, gender and rituals in the Ancient Mediterranean
Music, playing instruments and performing rituals are bodily activities and as such they can be studied stressing their corporeal features. Music and sounds are usually essential elements in rites, and bodies play an essential role in bringing together music and rituals. We explore these issues focusing on Punic terracotta figurines playing musical instruments recovered from the island of Ibiza (fifth to third centuries BC
The Politics of Reproduction, Rituals, and Sex in Punic Eivissa
Introduction Clay human figurines may be thought of as material culture with diverse dimensions because they are considered representations of a given reality. They betray the ways that people perceive both themselves and others. However, the methods and approaches available to us for the interpretation of such figurines vary widely. Although the most common approach is to study their functionality in relation to their iconography, this strategy …
Practical Movements
Scholars have studied the long-distance movements of people and goods in Phoenician and Punic society between the eighth and the second centuries BC in considerable depth. However, little attention has been paid to travelling, walking and sailing as common activities in their daily lives. it was through living in and moving through landscapes and seascapes that people constructed their sense of place. Sacred places may have been nodal points in t…
Terracotas púnicas representando a mujeres
Desde los años 1990 la arqueología y la antropología se han interesado por la teoría del embodiment. Este artículo analiza algunas terracotas femeninas de los cementerios púnicos del Puig des Molins (Eivissa) y Cartago (Túnez) (siglos VI-II a.C.) a partir de la hipótesis de que representan a mujeres reales que tuvieron un papel central en los rituales funerarios, en tanto que intérpretes de música, bailarinas o plañideras. Sostiene que estas muje…
The Archaeology of Colonialism
This volume examines human sexuality as an intrinsic element in the interpretation of complex colonial societies. While archaeological studies of the historic past have explored the dynamics of European colonialism, such work has largely ignored broader issues of sexuality, embodiment, commemoration, reproduction and sensuality. Recently, however, scholars have begun to recognize these issues as essential components of colonization and imperialis…

Could You Take a Picture of My Boat, Please? The Use and Significance of Mediterranean Ship Representations
Representations of ships, sailors and seafarers are common in many ancient societies. They were carved, drawn or painted on a great variety of raw materials – stone, wood, metal, textiles and pottery – and can be found in settings such as caves, tombs or royal palaces. Their presence at these sites raises the possibility that these images of maritime life have symbolic or ritual connotations. This paper presents examples of representations of Pho…
