REFLEXIONES SOBRE LA IDENTIDAD DE LA MUJER IBERA EN LAS NECRÓPOLIS DEL SURESTE PENINSULAR

Abstract

The female burials with anthropological analysis of the Iberian necropolis of Alicante, Murcia and Albacete are reviewed. The aim is to identify patterns of behaviour in the composition of the grave goods through the individualisation of the objects, for which we have resorted to the application of quantitative procedures on the data extracted. The small sample of anthropological analyses made this task very difficult. Nevertheless, the statistical results have highlighted some objects or aspects of the feminine tombs, such as textile elements, weapons, the association woman-spindle whorl-textile, children accompanying certain women and the presence of tabas, on which we present some reflections.
