PRODUCCIÓN Y DISTRIBUCIÓN DE CERÁMICA EN EL SUROESTE DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA. DATOS PRELIMINARES DEL ANÁLISIS ARQUEOMÉTRICO APLICADO AL YACIMIENTO DE LA JUNTA (PUEBLA DE GUZMÁN, HUELVA)

Abstract

The historical and cultural tradition that has dominated the archaeology of south-western Iberia has contributed little empirical data to the study of the production, distribution and use of pottery. To change this situation, we decided to use a new theoretical approach, with both an interdisciplinary methodology and an empirical evaluation framework based on the complete and systematic registration of an archaeological settlement excavated in its entirety: La Junta (Huelva, Spain). The comparative study of pottery and sediment samples from this site, through the complementary use of petrographic, geochemical (ICP-MS, ICP-ES) and mineralogical techniques (XRD ), has generated a comparative and efficient interpretive framework regarding the processes of production, distribution and use of pottery on a local and regional scale.
