1. Grecs et indigènes aux origines de l’enclave phocéenne d’Emporion

¿Dualidad étnica o heterogeneidad social? Un análisis de las cerámicas de uso cotidiano de la la Neápolis de Emporion

“…La convivencia entre gentes de origen local y de origen griego en la zona emporitana e incluso en la misma Neápolis es una idea ampliamente aceptada (entre otros, Aquilué et al, 2010;Santos et al, 2013;Castanyer et al, 2015;Delgado Hervás y Ferrer, 2016). Esta imagen del asentamiento y el entorno emporitano como paisajes pluriétnicos se ha construido en base a múltiples evidencias, principalmente arqueológicas, epigráficas, literarias y genéticas (Sanmartí-Grego, 1988a, 1993Sanmartí-Grego et al, 1994;Aquilué et al, 2010;Olalde et al, 2019). Pese a que los testimonios literarios sobre Emporion son escasos y fueron escritos en un momento muy posterior al que describen, han tenido una incidencia muy significatica en la construcción de las interpretaciones hoy dominantes.…”

“…Algunas décadas más tarde, en la segunda mitad del s. vi a. C., algunos grupos griegos se establecieron al s de la pequeña rada emporitana ( Fig. 1), creando un nuevo núcleo de hábitat conocido hoy como la Neápolis de Emporion (Aquilué et al, 2010;Santos et al, 2013;Castanyer et al, 2015).…”

“…Moreover, another colonial space that only appears partially in this volume is the Phocaean colony of Empúries (sixth century bc) and that of Rosas (Rhode fourth century bc), the only Greek settlements established in the Iberian Peninsula. As is the case with Phoenician colonial spaces, the dynamics and diachrony of Empúries and Rosas are central to understanding the colonial encounters that took place in this area of the peninsular northeast, especially after their settlement (Aquilué et al 2010).…”

Traditions and innovations: versatility of copper and tin bronze making recipes in Iron Age Emporion (L’Escala, Spain)

“…Favoured by its location by the sea and the natural harbour shaped in the coastline, Emporion's main original role was commercial. It had good access to the maritime routes connecting the eastern and southern coast of the Iberian Peninsula as well as to the inner territories through the Ter and Fluviá river valleys (Mar and Ruiz de Arbulo 1993;Aquilué et al 2010;Castanyer et al 2009Castanyer et al -2011Santos et al 2013;Castanyer et al 2017). An ancient river estuary no longer existent was also located to the North of the city, which facilitated access to the inner lands (Castanyer et al 2017).…”

“…They contributed to the consolidation of these factors and integrated the area into the Mediterranean exchange system. However, during the initial occupational phases, the direct influence of Emporion within the surrounding indigenous societies is still barely perceptible (Santos Retolaza 2003;Aquilué et al 2010).…”
