The Order of Things: Saunas as Performative Places in Northwestern Iberia during the Late Iron Age
Northwestern Iberia was inhabited by communities whose only settlement model was the hillfort throughout the Iron Age. In archaeological terms, these people are included in the so-called ‘Castro Culture’. These communities experienced social and material changes at the end of the Iron Age. From the second century bc onwards, a more hierarchical and complex social system, together with a process of monumentalization and sophistication of the archi…
Shared technologies for pottery and acorns processing? Multidisciplinary and functional approach to modular kilns
This paper deals with the so-called modular kilns, ceramic structures characteristic of the Bronze and Iron Age periods in various regions of Europe. Despite the interest shown in these material forms in recent years, their exact function is still unclear. However, the dominant interpretation within archaeological research has tended to associate them with pottery production. While this hypothesis has been based mainly on macro-observations deriv…
In the land of tin men? Warrior stelae, mobility, and interaction in western Iberia during the Late Prehistory
The warrior stelae, also called southwestern stelae or western stelae, emerge as one of the most characteristic manifestations of the Bronze Age in Iberia. Since the earliest findings more than a century ago, these monoliths have received great attention from scholars, becoming the subject of an intense debate, without a consensus having been reached on their meaning and sense. A slow but steady trickle of new findings, as well as the implementat…
Hillforts, rocks and warriors
During the Late Iron Age, monumental stone statues of warriors were established in the northwest of Iberia, ‘arming’ landscapes that ultimately encouraged specific types of semiotic ideologies in the region. This paper deals with how these statues on rocks not only worked in the production of liminality in the landscape – creating transitional zones on it –, but also how they functioned as liminal gateways to the past, absorbing ideas from the Br…

Teoría e Interpretación en la Arqueología de la Muerte
solo las actitudes y sentimientos que los individuos en el pasado desarrollaron en relacin a la muerte y el Ms All, sino tambin su cultura, sistema social y visin del mundo
Las estatuas-menhir noroccidentales: Cronologías y conexiones materiales
Este artículo analiza la cronología de las estatuas-menhir que se distribuyen en el área noroccidental de la península Ibérica. Aunque el grupo principal de estas formas materiales ha sido datado tradicionalmente en el Bronce Final, algunos arqueólogos han retrasado sus fechas al Bronce Inicial y Medio. El propósito de este trabajo es contribuir al debate sobre su contexto cultural y temporal, tomando en consideración las conexiones materiales en…
The Empowerment of Imagery: Stone Warriors in the Borders
This article explores the potential contribution of a biographical, phenomenological and performative approach to the study of material images in the past through a particular study case: the warrior statues from the so-called ‘Castro culture’ in northwestern Iberia. The aim is to provide a different way of thinking, as opposed to the traditional conceptions that have prevailed in archaeological research, taking into account what material forms e…
Las imágenes como un modo de acción: Las estatuas de guerreros castreños
La identidad social es siempre experimentada y representada en contextos específicos. Al tener un carácter procesual, se necesitan puntos materiales específicos de referencia en la forma de paisajes, lugares, artefactos y personas. Centrándose en las estatuas de guerreros castreños, este artículo reflexiona sobre el papel de estas imágenes y examina la importancia de estas formas materiales como un medio crucial a través del cual la identidad y s…
Postmodernismo o relativismo metáfisico en la filosofía de la historia
Este artículo plantea que la Filosofía Postmoderna de la Historia se configura como un sistema cultural que encuentra su razón de ser y su legitimidad en un momento supuestamente objetivo: la Postmodernidad, a la que le suministra su momento de verdad. De esta forma, lejos de caer en una contradicción realizativa en su esfuerzo por librarse de la metafísica de la historia, cae en un relativismo metafísico, que encuentra su legitimidad y su condic…
Las estatuas-menhir noroccidentales en contexto: Conectividad y conexiones materiales durante el Bronce Tardío/Final
Este artículo analiza las estatuas-menhir noroccidentales que se distribuyen en el área comprendida entre los valles del río Duero y el río Miño, pero que descubrimientos recientes han extendido a regiones fuera de este área nuclear. Partiendo de tres aspectos claves para su interpretación (la cronología, su relación con el paisaje y su sentido iconográfico), se examinan las relaciones entre estas formas materiales y un paisaje socio-material de …
