Similar objects were found at the archaeological sites of La Serreta (Alcoi-Cocentaina-Penàguila, Alicante) (exhibited in Museu Arqueològic Municipal Camil Visedo Moltó, Alcoi), El Puntal dels Llops (Olocau, Valencia) (Bonet-Rosado and Mata-Parreño 2002), and San Antonio (Calaceite, Teruel) (Pallarés 1965) but they have no decorations or just a single metal disc in the heel.…”

In this work, five unique Iberian Iron Age handles have been studied. The use of portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy no-destructive techniques has allowed us to identify two raw materials (amber and tin) used to decorate the ivory handles. Due to the finesse of their inlaid decoration and the value and exoticism of the material employed for their manufacture, these ivory objects are really exceptional Iberian archaeology findings. Interestingly, it has been possible to determine that tin was used as an adherent material to fix the inlaid small pieces of amber in the handles. The obtained results allow the better understanding of the manufacturing processes, areas of production, and accessibility to exotic materials of valuable objects during the Iberian period.

“…Although these factors have the potential to cause major damage, once the archaeological enclaves are revealed they become subject to even more factors, such as vandalism that is more serious and destructive [34] or plundering [30]; that derived from the opening to the public, such as trampling or carving on structures, which has a more progressive effect over time [5] (Figure 4d); or the absence of maintenance plans and emergency measures, thus risking potential destruction in short periods of time [6]. However, the risk from pollution is very low and is limited to chromatic variations on the surface, with a maximum damage of black crust associated with stone but not with earthen materials.…”

“…This can take the form of walking over or carving on the structures. This damage can range from the complete destruction of earthen structures, as seen in Puntal dels Llops (Olocau, Valencia) [34] (Figure 17a) and La Casa Grande (Alcalá del Júcar, Albacete) [51], the loss of volume, as in the hearths of Puig de la Nau (Benicarló, Castellón) (Figure 17b), or the gradual reduction in thickness, as gradually experienced in the adobe structures of Cerro de la Cruz (Almedinilla, Córdoba) until their definitive enhancement (Figure 17c). Occasionally, the placement of structures in spaces with changes in elevation, such as the cob wall of Caramoro I (Elche, Alicante) [52], could cause future problems due to the lack of signage (Figure 17d).…”

Archaeological sites constitute one of the main tourist attractions in the heritage offerings of most populations. Their ability to convey the ways of life and construction techniques of past societies through physical remains positions them as a culturally significant alternative for visitors. However, their physical conservation, essential for efficiently ensuring information with precision, poses a serious challenge for the various professionals involved, as numerous social and anthropic risks threaten long-term preservation for the enjoyment of future generations. Of all traditional building materials, earth is undoubtedly one of the most fragile and sensitive to loss in the absence of the original protection systems, so that a precise assessment of its threats is essential to minimizing the destruction of these non-renewable assets. The objective of this study is to evaluate the most determining human risk factors within the territorial scope of the Iberian Peninsula, including aspects such as its musealization, suitable interpretation, visit planning, agricultural land use, vandalism and rural depopulation. This is achieved through a literature review and on-site data collection from 85 archaeological sites, as well as the development of an analysis tool to assess the degree of vulnerability, aiming to develop prevention measures.

“…In the Upper Guadalquivir, the entire population was concentrated in oppida, establishing what has been called a 'polynuclear settlement model' (Ruiz and Molinos 2007). The town was the basic territorial unit, with powerful chiefs, who at certain times were able to create federations of townships, forming ties of clientele and alliances, as recorded in written sources (Ruiz 2008;Bonet-Rosado and Mata-Parreño 2015). During the fourth century bc several powerful Iberian towns colonized the river valleys in an expansive movement that saw the founding of dependent settlements, which in some cases left spectacular imprints on the landscape, as in Úbeda la Vieja ( Jaén) by the Jandulilla River.…”

During the Late Iron Age two processes developed in Iberia: a process of growing demography and a trend towards nucleated settlements. Both processes ended in the appearance of large fortified settlements (oppida), well known through archaeology and written sources. As in other areas of Europe, there were probably substantial differences between settlements, in terms of geographical setting, size, form, and function. In the end, the first cases of urbanization at the end of the Iron Age are presented as changing and multi-faceted entities in space and time, with similarities and unique characteristics. We discuss this process and the insights we can glean from it. Two worlds, the Mediterranean in the east and south and the Atlantic in north and west, had contacts through inland territories and navigations. The exploration of the relationships between oppida, demography, social organization, and urbanization is considered in this paper.
