Made in Pompeii? New insights into the production, consumption and distribution of black gloss pottery
Rural Religion in the Western Mediterranean
Roman provincial societies created religious landscapes that structured both individual and communal interactions, serving as a foundation for identity formation. However, analyzing these religious experiences is challenging due to their diversity and the scarcity of adequate documentation.
Mitochondrial DNA diversity in northeast Iberians during the Iron Age
Amalia, A Matching Algorithm for Lead Isotope Analyses
This article presents A Matching Algorithm for Lead Isotope Analyses (AMALIA) that yields analytical coincidences in lead isotope databases, allowing a fast selection of potential candidates for metal provenance. As a proof of concept, potential ore sources for 29 Roman lead artifacts from the archaeological site of Fuente Spitz (Jaén, Spain) are provided. Additionally, a reassessment of legacy, TIMS lead-isotope analyses is conducted by re-analy…
Religious Dynamics in a Microcontinent
Same Language, Different Diet
This study uses faunal and epigraphic evidence from the valley of Cabrera de Mar in present-day Catalonia (Spain) as proxies for understanding complex processes and dynamics of cultural change between the late Iron Age and early Roman times. The faunal remains indicate significant dietary change, although the epigraphic evidence implies that language—in contrast—changed at a slower pace, as shown by the use of indigenous onomastics and the contin…
Rock Sanctuaries, Sacred Landscapes, and the Making of the Iberian Pantheon
Sanctuaries are common spaces of interaction between humankind and the gods. In many religious systems, mountains and other elevated topographical features are known to have formed part of these privileged spaces of communication. It is not surprising that open-air and, in many cases, rock sanctuaries are the cultic spaces par excellence among the pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula. In this article, we offer a more nuanced picture of thes…
La vajilla de barniz negro en Empúries y la Layetania. Origen y técnica de producción a partir de su caracterización arqueométrica
El objetivo de este artículo es aportar nuevos datos sobre la cerámica de barniz negro tardorrepublicana distribuida en Empúries, que nos permitan avanzar en su origen, así como profundizar en aspectos relacionados con su proceso de fabricación. Para ello, y en el marco de un proyecto más amplio que incluye el análisis de diversos yacimientos de la costa catalana, se ha procedido a la caracterización arqueométrica de una muestra que incluye cerám…

El yacimiento subacuático de Las Amoladeras, Cabo de Palos (Cartagena). Nuevos enfoques
The aim of this article is to reinterpret a well-known underwater archaeological site located at Las Amoladeras, in La Manga del Mar Menor, near Cabo de Palos. For this purpose, after a historiographical review, we have studied, contextualized and undertaken isotopic analyses of some of the most interesting material from this archaeological site, as well as a plomo monetiforme (coin-like lead token) of the same type as those recovered at Las Amol…
Baitolo, a native shipowner‘s vessel, and the participation of northern Iberians in the Laietanian wine-trade under the Late Republic
This paper discusses a unique artifact 1 of considerable archaeological, philological and historical value, as well as its implications for our understanding of the rôle that the native inhabitants of NE Spain, especially those known as the Laeetani (Plin., N H 3.3.21), played in the major economic undertaking that the export of wine from Tarraconensis in the 1st c. B.C. was to become. To do so, we first briefly describe the typological and physi…
Methods of Palaeodemography
Ancient demography is a recurrent topic in archaeology, thanks to new methods and evidence from different surveys and excavations. However, different cultures or periods are studied on their own, without any comparison being made between them and of their population dynamics. The present paper seeks to advance the situation by defining methodologies to allow diachronic comparisons between two different periods and cultures. After setting out a me…

Central Italian Coin with “Dionysus / Panther” Types from Hispania Ulterior
Rural religion, religious places and local identities in Hispania
Rural cults are an aspect of the religion and culture of Roman Hispania that it is especially difficult to analyze given the paucity of epigraphic and archaeological evidence. This is quite a recent area of research; in addition, we are dealing with often modest religious practices that are difficult to identify in the archaeological record. Particularly problematic is the lack of information regarding cult places, despite the contribution made b…
Del oppidum de Burriac a las termas de Ca l’Arnau. Una aproximación a la lengua y a la identidad de los habitantes de Ilduro (Cabrera de Mar, Barcelona)
El análisis de los testimonios epigráficos de los yacimientos del valle de Cabrera de Mar muestra un dominio absoluto de la escritura ibérica sobre la latina, no sólo en el oppidum de Burriac, sino también en el asentamiento tardo-republicano situado en el actual casco urbano de Cabrera de Mar, ambos probablemente identificados con el topónimo ibérico Ilduro. Aunque la presencia en el asentamiento tardo-republicano de edificios públicos y privado…
Cultural contacts and identity construction
This paper focuses on a century of interaction between a colonial agent (Rome) and an indigenous people (known in classical texts as the Laietani ) who inhabited the area before the arrival of the conquerors. It investigates how contact between the two societies may be detected in the archaeological record, and, where possible, what changes in local culture resulted. The first part, which presents the archaeological sites of the Cabrera de Mar va…
A central italian Coin with Dionysus/ Panther types from Cabrera de Mar (El Maresme, Barcelona), and contacts between central Italy, Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior, in the 2nd and 1st centuri…
Three “Dionysus / panther” coins are known from Catalonia, one from excavations at Cabrera de Mar (Ilturo). This is a key component of the Central Italian Assemblage of the Italo-Baetican series, and dates to the late 90s/early 80s bc. The excavation coin probably arrived during the Sertorian wars (80–72), certainly before 50. We therefore review evidence of contacts between Hispania Citerior and Central Italy, Hispania Citerior and Ulterior, and…
La difusión de las emisiones ibéricas layetanas
Los hallazgos numismáticos cuya procedencia nos es conocida y resulta fiable permiten delimitar y evaluar, con bastante detalle, el territorio en el que la moneda objeto de estudio era conocida y utilizada. Las pautas de población y las vías de comunicaciones terrestres, marítimas y fluviales, son factores que condicionan la dispersión del numerario. No podemos olvidar que son las personas quienes trasportan la moneda, y éstas, por regla general,…
