Astragali and their archaeological contexts in the Iberian Peninsula. Significance, meanings and historical implications

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The functions of astragali in Antiquity have been studied and evaluated, mainly taking stock of their contexts but also Greek and Roman iconography. Studies have chiefly approached the Levant and Eastern and Central Mediterranean islands. We now describe data referring to this type of bone in Iberia. Recurrently present in necropolises and sanctuaries of the Iron Age, astragali also appear in habitat sites of the same chronology. An analysis of contexts, gathering information on the Far West of Iberia, is important. Also, the adoption of exogenous models in ritual practices and aspects of daily life, which talus bones illustrate, must be discussed in terms of the phenomena of the nobility allowed by the Phoenician colonisation, giving historical perspectie to animal bones.
