LOOKING FOR THE MISSING LINK. BEHIND THE GESTURES THAT DEFINE THE POTTERY TRADITION OF THE LATE BRONZE OF THE SOUTHEAST OF THE IBERIAN PENINSULA (1300-725 CAL BC) FROM CERRO DE CABEZUELOS (ÚBEDA, JAÉN)

Abstract
Cerro de Cabezuelos (Úbeda, Jaén) is one of most important sites of the Late Bronze Age materiality thanks to the short occupation and its monophasic stratigraphy. The ceramic and metallurgic productions or architectural organization are presented in it in a canonical form and, therefore, allow it to be constituted as an important parallel to other sites of its cultural surround. Looking for this purpose, a technological study of the ceramic productions of this site has been carried out in order to be able to extract data relating to the technical gestures followed by the potters of Cabezuelos. The results have allowed us to reveal each step of the operational chain providing new information about the construction of the pottery traditions from this moment in an essential moment of its cultural configuration.
