“…4. Phase IV (circa 1011 CE to mid-twelfth century CE): The distribution of the output of the urban workshops of Granada reaches rural places and takes over local production, thus confirming that the model of pottery production and distribution has changed radically since the beginning of the period under consideration (Carvajal López and Day 2013;. This study was in line with a range of other evidence, like the one that is underlined by the development of irrigation systems in the Vega of Granada (Jiménez Puertas 2007;Carvajal López 2008;Jiménez Puertas and Carvajal López 2011) or the political changes (Carvajal López 2013).…”

“…They are, from east to west: Cerro del Castillejo in Nívar, the Albaycín in Granada, Ilbira in Atarfe, Cerro del Molino del Tercio in Salar, Cerro de la Mora in Moraleda de Zafayona, Cerro de la Solana de la Verdeja in Villanueva de Mesía and Manzanil in Loja (Fig 1). More details about these sites can be found in Álvarez García 2009;Carvajal López 2008;Carvajal López and Day 2013;Jiménez Puertas 2008;Ruiz Jiménez 2008. This is not the first pottery study carried out within the framework of ARANPOT.…”

In this paper petrographic and NAA analyses of two categories of ceramic wares of the early medieval Vega of Granada (southeast Spain) are presented. The vessels analysed include Water Containers and Glazed Wares and were manufactured between the sixth and the twelfth centuries CE. This is the period of the Islamization of Iberia and the emergence of al-Andalus. The studies in this paper offer an opportunity to understand technological, social and economic changes that were part of the pattern of Islamization. The results of this work show that there is a differential pattern of distribution for the samples studied in the eastern and western areas of the Vega and that there is a chronological change in technological variability of the production of the wares under investigation. An earlier period in which this variability is high gave way to a period where the variability is much less and potentially more standardized technological procedures were followed.

“…By the ninth century, ollas (and particularly S-rimmed ones) started to be made in a variety of different fabrics that show the capacity of potters to experiment with different raw materials and procedures. 58 This sudden wave of innovation in the ninth century is difficult to explain on its own, and it is better considered in the light of the information discussed below.…”

In this paper, a brief overview of the archaeological studies on the pottery produced and used during the eighth century, the period immediately after the conquest of al-Andalus, is presented. It is shown that, in spite of valuable advances in the field, scholars have been limited in their consideration of the impact of the post-conquest Muslim immigration ceramic production due to two main factors. The first one is an excessive reliance on flawed theoretical perspectives that can be summarized as the acceptance of eighth-century ceramics as ambiguous, that is, as typologically undefined ceramics embedded in a transition between the Visigothic Kingdom and the Caliphate. The second is a lack of methodological approaches, a result of the particular development of the field of medieval pottery studies in Iberia, which has favoured methods of study which are not the most appropriate to understand a period of time where changes in production are fast and cumulative in a short timespan. As a consequence, the impact of post-conquest immigration of Muslims in ceramic production is understudied. This paper presents an alternative proposal that shows how different theoretical and methodological stances in the study of early Islamic ceramics can help to understand this impact, as well as to support an alternative narrative of the emergence of al-Andalus.

“…Therefore, the application of the term of Islamization to the period under study in this paper is a way of characterising the historical context and at the same time of defining the specific mechanisms which led to the formation of the Islamic society of the Gulf. I have already adopted a similar approach to the study of the region of the Vega of Granada, in south east Spain (Carvajal López 2013;Carvajal López and Day 2013).…”
