Settlement dynamics in Iron Age Eastern Iberia point up the formation of coalitions of several sites under the control of Iberian towns. I present ideological strategies and ritual practices used to promote a sense of community in this new political order. The creation and re-creation of this communitarian identity is largely based in the construction of a sacred landscape with local sanctuaries. In addition, complex pottery iconography related to ritual practices contributed to aggregate individuals and communities
