“…The fibulae from "Cerro del Berrueco" and "Los Pajares" entered in the Iberian Peninsula during a former situation to the Sea Peoples dominated by the Helladic inflows in the Central Mediterranean. This situation when the earliest wheel-made pottery arrived to the Iberian Peninsula finished in the mid-13 th century BC (Almagro Gorbea and Fontes, 1997). Then, even if the Sicilian elbow fibulae derived from violin-bow fibulae (Sundwall, 1943: 44;Ruiz Delgado, 1989: 59), both families in the Iberian Peninsula belong to two different situations, probably discontinuous in time ( fig.…”

In the present study, a very large amount of Iberian fibulae are identified, organized, and accounted for. The very most of these fibulae come from Spanish and Portuguese sites and museums, as well as some others come from the Eastern Mediterranean in spite of their Iberian origin. In principle, they all are dated before the Orientalizing Phenomenon (c. 750 BC), therefore Late Bronze Age stage.The starting point of this study is the recent statement by some researchers who propose a 13th cent. BC emergence for the fibulae of the elbow family. This proposal entails an Iberian origin for the fibula -the "Granadan approach".The study consists of two main parts. The first one is an analysis focused on morphological and stylistic criteria, finding contexts, and foreign parallels. The entire set of fibulae is classified one by one in seven groups: asymmetric violinbow family, elbow family, looped family, curved-bow family, pivotal family, double-spring family, and Coimbra type. Once the typological classification is clear, it is argued that only elbow and looped families are trustful Iberian, Late Bronze Age items, while the rest of them must be considered uncertain regarding their nature and chronology.The second part contains a synthesis to clarify the filiation of the entire series of the Iberian fibulae. This is, a critical study focused on the origin of the every family and type, their evolution, and the formal and technical relationships each other. The results confirm an Alpine origin for the fibulae -therefore, foreign origin for the Iberian examples -, a connection between polities of Iberia and abroad before the Phoenician colonization (mainly those from Sicily and the Eastern Mediterranean), and the interaction of communities within Iberia. ResumenEn el presente estudio se procede a identificar, organizar y explicar la totalidad de las muy diversas fíbulas procedentes de la Península Ibérica. La mayor parte de ellas han sido documentadas en yacimientos y museos de España y Portugal, aunque también se atestiguan ejemplares hispánicos en el Mediterráneo oriental. En principio, todos los casos documentados preceden al Fenómeno Orientalizante (h. 750 a.C.), es decir, pertenecen al Bronce Final.El punto de partida de este estudio no es otro que la reciente propuesta de algunos investigadores que sostienen una cronología del s. XIII a.C. para situar el surgimiento de las fíbulas de la familia de codo Esta propuesta, el "enfoque Grandadino", implica un origen hispano para la fíbula.

“…The most important center was the city of Cádiz, the old Gadir, which controlled the access to (a) the passage from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Atlantic; (b) the wide mouth of the Guadalquivir river, the main communication route to the interior, which was geographically quite different from its current configuration; and (c) the Riotinto mining area (Huelva). In general, it is considered that transformations of the indigenous material culture were limited until the 8th century BC, although the local settlements start to show imported materials and some technological changes, in a stage that has been called “Final Bronze Age with wheel‐made pottery”, from the 9th to the end of the 8th centuries BC (Almagro‐Gorbea & Fontes, ; Ferrer, ).…”

Petrographic and geochemical study of the stone warrior stelae from central Iberia: Linking the geological record and archaeological heritage

Six warrior stelae from central Iberia (Toledo, Spain) were studied using different geological techniques to discriminate their potential source materials and evaluate the displacement suffered from the quarry sites to their final location. The similar petrographic and geochemical features of the stelae, when compared with other lithological equivalents cropping out in the surrounding area, suggest that most raw materials were quarried less than 10 km from the finds. These materials mainly belong to a set of metasedimentary rocks from the Schist–Graywacke Complex and other Ordovician brownish sandstones, mostly found in the vicinity of the stelae sites. In contrast, the Talavera de la Reina stele, previously used as a statue‐menhir, was engraved on a leucogranite, geochemically similar to some plutonic units in the Navamorcuende area, in the southernmost region of the Spanish Central System batholith. The fact that all stelae and the proposed geological sources were located close to ancient tracks suggests that the raw materials were quarried in connection with these natural routes. The stelae may, therefore, have been landmarks or reference points that signaled transit passages used for trade or grazing, in the framework of continuous territorial expansion during the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.
