The main aim of the study is to examine the domestic ceramic assemblages –kitchen ceramics, tableware and domestic storage– and to analyse them focusing on their manufacturing traditions and their use in daily practices. The results of this study show the existence of strong cultural entanglements. This invites us to reject traditional interpretations, largely based on written classical sources, that have argued for the occurrence of a strict dual division in the enclave along ethnic lines, with two neatly segregated communities that never overlapped in this urban landscape. This study argues against the simplistic use of material culture as an ethnic marker, emphasising instead the role of some daily-use objects in the construction of social distinction, as well as other social, intersectiona...

This exploitation continued, despite losing intensity, until the Romanization of the territory. Our project also aims to determine the nature and origin of the lead and silver supply in the northern Iberian territory surrounding the Phocaean enclave of Emporion, especially with regard to the demands of the colonial mint. The behaviour pattern of the circulation of lead, silver and copper in Catalonia in the period studied indicates a plurality of contemporary supply sources, although, at least from the fifth century BC onward, minerals and metals from the southeastern Iberian Peninsula take on considerable importance.

The 2014 dig on the Insula 30 of the Roman city of Emporiae brought to light a set of 18 denarii, five of which were from the Iberian workshop of Bolskan and 13, Roman, the most modern from the Lugdunum mint, dated between 2 B.C. and 4 A.D. Also at the Empúries site, a further four hoards concealed between ca. 74-73 B.C. and the reign of Augustus were found, thanks to which it is possible to make an appraisal of the characteristics of silver coin circulation throughout this period.

The existance of this new site confirms the strategic importance that Empuries and its harbour had during the first period of the Roman conquist of Hispania. catalaLa troballa d’un tram de muralla al sud de la ciutat grega d’Empuries, com a resultat del seguiment de les rases els serveis del Centre de Recepcio de Visitants d’Empuries (sanejament, aigua i llum), comporta el coneixement de l’existencia d’un nou recinte fortificat a l’antiga ciutat d’Empuries.

The settlement and the necropolis of El Calvari (El Molar, Tarragona), dated between the end of the Late
Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age, provided various copper-based objects and melting wastes. The
archaeological site is located in a mining district, the Molar-Bellmunt-Falset (MBF) area, which presents rich
deposits mainly of non-argentiferous lead and copper. Lead isotope analyses performed on some lead-based
materials recovered from El Calvari show that these mines were already being exploited at this time. However,
lead isotope analyses of the copper-based metals indicate that neither the ones from the site nor those from
the necropolis can be related to local mineral resources. Indeed, a great part of these items originates from
the Linares mines (Jaén) and, in a smaller part, from mines in the Almería province.
In this paper we will discuss arguments supporting the possibility of import of ingots or of finished objects as
part of the Phoenician trade in northeastern Iberia.
Resumen
El yacimiento de El Calvari (El Molar, Tarragona), fechado entre finales de la Edad del Bronce y la I Edad del
Hierro, ha proporcionado diversos objetos de base cobre y algún resto de fundición. El yacimiento se localiza
junto a las minas de galena (no argentífera) y de cobre dentro del distrito Molar-Bellmunt-Falset (MBF). Los
análisis de isótopos de plomo de materiales relacionados con la metalurgia del plomo señalan su explotación
en este periodo. Sin embargo, ninguno de los objetos de base cobre (ni del poblado ni de la necrópolis) se
puede relacionar con el aprovechamiento de minerales locales. La mayor parte del metal se identifica con una
procedencia del área minera de Linares, y en menor medida con minas en la provincia de Almería.
En el artículo se discuten los argumentos a favor de un comercio de metal, ya sea de lingotes o de objetos
acabados, vinculado a la actividad comercial fenicia en el noreste de la Península Ibérica.
