Cerámicas altomedievales en contextos rurales del centro y noroeste peninsular: secuencia cronotipológica, tecnología y regionalización productiva

Abstract

In this paper I present the main results of an extensive pottery analysis carried out on thirty early medieval rural contexts located in the centre and northwestern Iberia. Through an analysis based on the chaines operatoires a sequence of the pottery assemblages between the 5th and 8th century is presented. I will use three main variables: technology, form and regionalization. Thus, I will propose a pottery seriation in different phases which allows for a social and political historical approach of early medieval societies in this territory.
