“…In societies such those of the Neolithic and Copper Age, with a low degree of material control over the world, natural elements in the landscape, such as mountains, may have been considered as sacred places endowed with human agency. In these communities, the capacity of human action was located within a wider set of social relationships and the notion of the self as an autonomous agent was very limited (Aranda Jiménez, ; Aranda Jiménez, Montón‐Subias, & Sánchez Romero, ; Brück, ; Budja, ; Fowler, ; Hernando, , ). In this context, megalithic societies chose a specific lithology to quarry the slabs, probably due to properties such as the beige to pink color and smooth surfaces that sometimes retain the wave patterns characteristic of the rock outcrops.…”

The characterization of materials used in the construction of megalithic monuments can be considered a key aspect for a better understanding of the social behavior of past societies. The excavation of four dolmens and one small cist in 2015 at the megalithic necropolis of Panoria (Granada, Spain) offered an excellent opportunity to explore the geological properties and potential source area(s) of the uprights used in their construction. All the stone slabs came from the same raw material: fine‐grained, beige to pink limestones that occasionally show red and black chert nodules, with wavy stratifications and a packstone texture. Comparison with the geological properties of the surrounding outcrops matches a lithostratigraphy known as the Ammonitico Rosso Formation. Thus, it seems safe to say that the quarry area was located next to the necropolis. Explanations other than the traditional practical reasons have been put forward to understand why the stone slabs were quarried from the same mountain in which the tombs were located.

“…The examples we have observed of tholoi reuse, as in Llano de la Sabina 97 and 99, could well be framed as a response or resistance to the new ideological order and the survival of ancestral traditions (e.g. [ 81 ]). Similar transformations of materiality reflecting ideological changes have also been proposed for Mycenaean Greece where, contrary to Iberia, amber would have played a major role: firstly in the construction of Early Mycenaean warrior identity (c. 1700–1420 BC), to acquire later a cosmological significance during the Mycenaean post-palatial period (c. 1200–1060 BC) [ 74 ].…”

Amber in prehistoric Iberia: New data and a review

et al. 2018

Provenancing exotic raw materials and reconstructing the nature and routes of exchange is a major concern of prehistoric archaeology. Amber has long been recognised as a key commodity of prehistoric exchange networks in Europe. However, most science-based studies so far have been localised and based on few samples, hence making it difficult to observe broad geographic and chronological trends. This paper concentrates on the nature, distribution and circulation of amber in prehistoric Iberia. We present new standardised FTIR analyses of 22 archaeological and geological samples from a large number of contexts across Iberia, as well as a wide scale review of all the legacy data available. On the basis of a considerable body of data, we can confirm the use of local amber resources in the Northern area of the Iberian Peninsula from the Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age; we push back the arrival of Sicilian amber to at least the 4th Millennium BC, and we trace the appearance of Baltic amber since the last quarter of the 2nd Millennium BC, progressively replacing Sicilian simetite. Integrating these data with other bodies of archaeological information, we suggest that the arrival of Baltic amber was part of broader Mediterranean exchange networks, and not necessarily the result of direct trade with the North. From a methodological perspective, thanks to the analyses carried out on both the vitreous core and the weathered surfaces of objects made of Sicilian simetite, we define the characteristic FTIR bands that allow the identification of Sicilian amber even in highly deteriorated archaeological samples.

“…Si este fue el caso, su tarea sería valorada en la medida en que reprodujeran fielmente las convenciones recibidas (Lohnmann, 2010: 223). La diferencia o alteridad de ciertas cosas fuera de su espaciotiempo original fue probablemente reconocida y usada de forma creativa por las gentes del ii milenio ac en la Penín-sula Ibérica (p. e. García Sanjuán, 2011: 86-90;Aranda, 2015). El hallazgo de cerámicas calcolíticas, campaniformes y de Cogotas i en contextos domésticos argáricos se ha interpretado recientemente como testimonio de una materialidad multicultural o híbrida, propia de comunidades que resistieron el modelo cultural y político argárico (Aranda et al, 2015: 19-23;Aranda, 2015).…”

“…Pero tales situaciones de contacto intercultural -con el pasado-pudieron ser bidireccionales; los testimonios predecesores no sólo jugaron un papel pasivo. Pocas veces (p. e. García Sanjuán, 2011;Aranda, 2015) se ha considerado el efecto o influencia de las formas culturales más antiguas sobre las más recientes. La cultura material mueble -restos humanos y animales, abalorios, metales, cerámicas-tampoco ha recibido suficiente atención, salvo excepciones (p. e. Lillios, 1999;Armada et al, 2008;Hingley, 2009).…”

) LXXVI, julio-diciembre; [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] Resumen: Este artículo explora las semejanzas decorativas entre las cerámicas neolíticas y calcolíticas y la alfarería de estilo Cogotas i. Un enfoque diacrónico que arranca del Neolítico antiguo permite rastrear una serie de motivos y técnicas ornamentales recurrentes a lo largo de la Prehistoria reciente meseteña: similares temas geométricos, el empleo del boquique, la excisión y la incrustación de pasta blanca. Se valoran diversas opciones para comprender tales analogías: mera casualidad, invención independiente, perduración transcultural de procedimientos artesanales. La hipótesis más plausible considera que las artesanas del ii milenio a. C. reintrodujeron tales decisiones tecnológicas conscientes de su otredad. Con ellas elaboraron un código simbólico plasmado en la vajilla, cuya transmisión y reproducción fidedigna fueron de gran importancia. Las alfareras se inspiraron en cerámicas de su pasado, prototipos que pudieron entender como realidades ancestrales, esotéricas o míticas. Semejante decisión cultural resulta coherente con su manipulación habitual de reliquias y cosas extemporáneas o exóticas. Los modos de vida de aquellas gentes facilitaron el encuentro con restos pretéritos, tanto la remoción del suelo -para cultivar y cavar hoyos-en los mismos entornos que ocuparon sus predecesores, como la visita y alteración de viejos túmulos, cuevas y recintos fosados.Palabras clave: Decoración cerámica; imitación; transmisión artesanal; Neolítico; Campaniforme; Cogotas i; Meseta.Abstract: This paper explores decorative resemblances between Neolithic and Chalcolithic ceramics and pottery in the Cogotas i style -Later Bronze Age-. A diachronic approach from the Early Neolithic allows tracking a series of recurring ornamental motifs and techniques throughout later prehistory: comparable geometric themes, the deployment of stab-and-drag -Boquique-and excision techniques and smearing of white inlays. In order to account for such analogies, a suite of options is assessed: mere coincidence, independent innovation, trans-cultural endurance of craftwork procedures. The most likely hypothesis considers a revival of such technological decisions by potters in the second millennium bc; they did so fully aware of their alien character. Such pottery features were used to elaborate a symbolic code displayed on vessels, whose transmission and faithful reproduction were of crucial importance. Ancient potsherds were used as prototypes by potters, and might have been understood as part of ancestral, esoteric or mythical realities. Such cultural preference is consistent with the habitual handling of relics and anachronistic or exotic things. The lifestyles of these people facilitated their encountering of remains from their past, either removing soil (to cultivate and pit-digging) on
