“…Faience amulets, scarabs, and beads abound in the Western Mediterranean basin, Ibiza (López-Grande et al, 2014), and on the Mediterranean coasts of Iberia. Examples are also known from southern Iberia, the Atlantic Iberian coast (Padró i Parcerisa, 1980-1983, 1995Almagro-Gorbea et al, 2009), and southern and central inland Portugal (Valério et al, 2018;Costa et al, 2022;Vilaça & Gil, 2023). Their distribution shows that some artefacts (e.g.…”

“…Furthermore, there is ample scholarly consensus that Egyptianlike objects transported by the Phoenicians and found in Iberia on sites dating from the eighth/seventh to the fifth centuries BC were manufactured in Egypt (e.g. Vercoutter, 1945: 282, 341;Padró i Parcerisa, 1980-1983, 1995López-Grande et al, 2014). Faience objects from Extremadura in south-western inland Iberia are of similar dates (Almagro-Gorbea et al, 2009).…”

Research concerning transactions in the early first millennium bc in the westernmost Mediterranean has tended to focus on colonial coastlands occupied by scattered Levantine outposts, whereas cross-cultural interactions in hinterland regions have remained ill-defined. This article presents an assemblage of Egyptian vitreous artefacts, namely beads, a Hathor amulet, and further items from the seventh-century bc rural village of Cerro de San Vicente (Salamanca) in the interior of Spain. Macroscopic and chemical analyses demonstrate their likely manufacture in Egypt during the Middle and New Kingdom (second millennium bc), attesting to a far-reaching Phoenician maritime network that connected both ends of the Mediterranean. The authors interpret the items as liturgical objects, rather than mere high-status trinkets, that formed part of a widely shared Mediterranean world view and associated ritual mores. They consider the impact of cultural syncretism, which reached even remote and allegedly isolated peripheral settings in Iberia.
