In medias res . Balance historiográfico en torno al relato histórico del sur de la Sierra de la Demanda altomedieval
In medias res es una fórmula narrativa que introduce una historia en medio de la acción. Este trabajo propone que una lógica similar ha operado, explícita o implícitamente, en el relato sobre el pasado altomedieval del sur de la Sierra de la Demanda: las sociedades de esta región irrumpen abruptamente en escena, sin un trasfondo que permita comprender su emergencia, transformación o continuidad. Esta manera de representar el pasado responde a lóg…
Advancing the chaîne opératoire analysis of medieval greyware and redware ceramics
This study introduces an innovative approach for evaluating the chaîne opératoire of greyware and redware ceramics produced locally in Utrecht between the 12th and 15th centuries CE. This new approach aims to integrate compositional studies with quantitative forming technique analysis to more fully understand the production technology. For this, 59 samples were selected from four workshops which were active in three different production phases. T…
Assessing petrographic variability and regional connections in Medieval and Modern Catalonian Greyware Pottery
La ermita de Santa Catalina (Mansilla de la Sierra, La Rioja)
Los trabajos llevados a cabo en la ermita de Santa Catalina (Mansilla de la Sierra, La Rioja) desde 2016 han puesto de manifiesto la existencia de un conjunto arquitectónico de gran complejidad formado por una diacronía de edificios que transformaron significativamente la fisionomía del espacio, en consonancia con la amplitud temporal del asentamiento medieval. El templo fue parroquia de Mansilla hasta su traslado en el siglo XVI al denominado pu…
Morfometría Del Vaso Keru Tiwanaku. Caracterización Formal E Implicaciones Culturales
Este artculo busca explorar el potencial del mtodo morfomtrico para aportar a las discusiones sobre variabilidad cermica e identidad social en Tiwanaku (ca.500-1100 DC), mediante el anlisis de una centena de vasos keru completos resguardados en museos europeos.El estudio emplea un marco terico de cadena operatoria, donde la produccin de la forma cermica puede tener importancia social y corresponderse o no con otros pasos productivos.Aplica una me…

Females also Run Business. Merchants’ Wives and Female Merchants in the Crown of Aragon (Fourteenth-Fifteenth Century)
This paper explores the involvement of women in business during the Late Middle Ages. Our research has focused on the activities undertaken by women living in the most important economic centres of the Crown of Aragon, taking into consideration the contributions made by female historians who have carried out their studies in other areas. The research hypothesis is that mothers and wives took over businesses in critical periods with such efficienc…
Frankish and local technological traditions in greyware pottery production at l'esquerda (Catalonia), 7th-9th centuries AD
The archaeological site of L’Esquerda was a distinctive fortified settlement from the Late Bronze Age until the violent destruction of the medieval village in CE 1314. After several centuries of abandonment during the Roman period, peasant populations reoccupied the site. It played military role during the political struggles of the Visigothic kingdom in the 6th and 7th centuries AD and became a strategic site when the Frankish king Louis the Pio…
Exploring material culture and identity in post-medieval Catalonia
Ceramic production has shaped the industrial and human landscapes of the Gavarres Mountains in northeastern Catalonia.This activity remains important in some places, where it transitions between traditional practices and industrial modes of production.Quart, a town known for its greyware pottery production, is an emblematic centre where artisanal expertise in this ancient manufacture has been upheld as an identity-building value despite increasin…
Statistical Analysis of Morphometric Data for Pottery Formal Classification
Formal analysis of pottery is a commonplace for most archaeologists regardless of the area or period of study. The typological study of utilitarian earthenware is complex and has often been neglected in pottery studies devoted to the analytical characterization of vessels. Certainly, a low degree of variability and standardization can jeopardize a definition of vessel typologies with some sense of universality. Despite this, a global approach dea…
Assessing natural versus anthropogenic horizons through deposit modelling strategies at the Medieval Site of Santa Margarida (Martorell, Barcelona, Spain)
Geophysical surveys have been one of the most useful tools for non‐invasive archaeological field assessment. Whereas they have been regularly put into practice at the archaeological site of Santa Margarida (Martorell, Barcelona, Spain), the particular features of the site required a more specific strategy to identify the contact interface between anthropogenic and natural deposits and, therefore, to conclude the archaeological excavation. As the …
Armamento y accesorios militares en la fortaleza medieval de Mendikute (Guipúzcoa, País Vasco), siglos XIII-XIV
Las excavaciones arqueológicas en la fortaleza medieval de Mendikute (Albiztur, Guipúzcoa) permitieron recuperar una numerosa colección de materiales metálicos entre los que se cuentan un volumen considerable de restos de armamento. Este conjunto de material bélico, que incluye puntas de lanza, saetas y otros elementos no proyectiles como dagas, cuchillos y algunos útiles auxiliares de la actividad militar, ha sido documentado a lo largo de los ú…
Métodos y problemas interpretativos en los estudios de cerámica utilitaria
A lo largo de los últimos años las excavaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en el yacimiento de Revenga (Comunero de Revenga, Burgos) han permitido recuperar algunos materiales cerámicos de cronologías tardoantiguas y altomedievales. Dado su estado de conservación muy precario, el carácter utilitario de este tipo de producciones y las dificultades que aún hoy existen en el estudio de la cerámica común altomedieval, dichos materiales plantean al…
Morfometría de cerámicas grises catalanas
Cooking wares fired under reducing atmosphere are one of the most common archaeological findings in medieval contexts. These are coarse, irregular and mostly coil-built vessels finished on the wheel. The great homogeneity of these products, together with the high level of breakage and the massive amount of sherds found out in many contexts are the main difficulties to deal with in order to study them. In this paper results obtained from the morph…
Another One Bites the Dust
The following study sheds new light on the quality control procedures of ancient potters by comparing cooking vessels exported from the medieval kiln‐site of Cabrera d'Anoia (Barcelona) with ‘wasters' that were discarded at source. The firing temperature of examined sherds indicates that only pots subjected to a maximum temperature of 800–850°C were offered for sale. The potters at Cabrera d'Anoia appear to have been fully aware of the optimal ba…
Construcciones altomedievales en materiales perecederos en el yacimiento de Revenga (Burgos)
Las recientes intervenciones en el yacimiento de Revenga (Comunero de Revenga, Burgos) han dado a conocer una secuencia de habitación marcada por la ocupación continuada del espacio y una intensa reutilización de estructuras, a la par que el poblado experimenta distintas transformaciones en su ordenación interna entre los siglos V-IX. La interpretación arqueológica de un hábitat del que quedan en realidad muy pocos restos, dado el carácter perece…
La acción monástica y eremítica en los procesos de poblamiento altomedievales (ss. VI– XI)
El estudio de los procesos de poblamiento, articulación del territorio y organización social del espacio en la alta edad media es un tema muy complejo que requiere de una gestión integrada de las fuentes arqueológicas y documentales y que necesariamente debe ser analizado desde una óptica regional, dada la realidad heterogénea del territorio peninsular y el impacto desigual de los procesos de romanización y posterior cristianización. Este trabajo…
Necrópolis rupestres y procesos de poblamiento en el Alto Arlanza (Burgos)
Current research at the archaeological sites of the Upper Arlanza Basin (Burgos) offers new and interesting insights in order to understand village networks which probably played a leading role within this territory. Peasants used to live in scattered nuclei usually organized around a church surrounded by a rock-cut cemetery. Researchers must properly address the role played by these communities, their funerary practices, and their strong influen…
To the vicinity and beyond! Production, distribution and trade of cooking greywares in medieval Catalonia, Spain
Circuitos de distribución de cerámica culinaria en el noreste peninsular
Within a long time in history, water flows have significantly contributed to the landscape organization as a way of exchange and transport of goods, individuals, ideas and productive and technological traditions. This paper analyzes the role of rivers Ter, Llobregat and Segre concerning the territorial layout of Medieval Catalonia from the production and distribution networks of ceramic manufactures. To do so, preliminary results obtained from mi…
