Mobile craftspeople and orientalising transculturation in seventh-century BC Iberia Blanco González, Antonio Padilla Fernández, Juan Jesús Dorado Alejos, Alberto Iberia Iron age Household Archaeology Ceramic technology XRF Female mobility During the early first millennium BC, Phoenician peoples settled the Iberian coasts instigating cultural innovations known as the orientalising; indigenous communities of the interior have long been considered as passively dependent on, or isolated from, these developments. Recent excavations at the Early Iron Age village of Cerro de San Vicente in central Spain, however, have yielded domestic contexts that prompt reconsideration of this relationship. The authors use settlement layout, architecture and locally made tablewares to identify heterarchical organisation around virilocal and bilateral kinship and hybrid practices that attest to adoption of know-how and practices from distant places. Emphasis is placed on the role of embodied craftworking skills and female mobility in transculturation processes. 2023-10-26T10:35:15Z 2023-10-26T10:35:15Z 2023-07-05 journal article Blanco-González, A., Padilla-Fernández, J.
