The western Iberian stelae from the Final Bronze Age and Early Iron Age transition (c. 1200-550 BC) are rock art monuments that superbly represent the complex triangular relationship between culture, technology and communication. This book presents contributions from a multidisciplinary team of researchers and craftspeople to the comprehensive investigation of these monuments within their cultural and chronological contexts. The approaches encompass geo-archaeology, petrology, experimental archaeology, landscape archaeology and visual culture studies. Moreover, the technologies of prehistoric stone working and possible tools used for stelae making are examined by archaeometallurgical analyses, experimental replications, and traceology. This combined methodology goes beyond the traditional study of the motifs and their compositions on the stelae, seeking to re-evaluate the rock supports and the reasons for their choice, explore the technologies used for their production, and discover the symbolic significance of these stelae for the communities who created them. Eventually, this research considers the perspectives of stonemasonry, bronze and iron met-allurgy, and technology transfer. This has resulted in new insights on the social and cultural implications of the Western Iberian stelae, the emergence of early Iberian iron metallurgy, technology transfer, innovation, and intercultural contacts between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic at the dawn of history. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Zustand: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear. The symbolic images of the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age that were widespread in the central and western Mediterranean offer a broad base for the understanding of the inter-cultural communications and the alleged spread of ideas and knowledge throughout the area. The book comprises a comprehensive, comparative analysis of iconographical records from Sardinia, Southwest Iberia, Corsica and Sicily within their archaeological context of the intense contacts that had emerged in the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age. Settlement archaeology, monument building, funeral rites and religious ritual as well as local economic approaches in these four regions, which were connected by a network of anchorages, are also examined and compared. The communitarian organization as well as the allocation of power within prehistoric societies are analyzed through alternative theoretical methods considering heterarchy and complex anarchic societies. In this context, sometimes dramatic socio-political changes in the Early Iron Age, which further resulted in changes in local art and symbolism, can be explained through manipulative strategies, intensified communications or - to the contrary - dissociation. This volume contains comprehensive, fully illustrated data on 245 Sardinian anthropomorphic bronze figurines as well as references to 216 zoomorphic bronzetti and 146 boat models. Furthermore, 118 western Iberian stelae have been analyzed in detail and are contrasted with the completely diverging motives of the Iberian Early Iron Age. Finally, the statue-menhirs of Corsica and the figurative art of Sicily complete the material basis of this study. This work provides chronological data, iconographical and archaeological analyses as well as distribution maps and therefore offers an reliable database for Mediterranean archaeology. 397 Seiten mit 214 Abb. und 20 Tab., Großformat, gebunden (Freiburger Archäologische Studien; Band 9/Verlag Marie Leidorf 2018).
