Nuevas propuestas de actuación para el estudio del oppidum de Iliturgi desde la arqueología del territorio

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present action proposals for the study of the oppidum of Iliturgi part of the Research Project “Iliturgi: conflicto, culto y territorio s. III a.C.- I d.C." (PI12-HUM-2619), based on a new methodological approach , from archaeology of the territory , which may provide some clues to its political and social evolution from the Iberian period to its eventual transformation into a Roman town. The proposed analysis is based on a global plan of archaeological surveys reinforced by a Geographic Information System (GIS) with our investigation focused on three basic models for understanding the historical evolution of Iliturgi and its territory; 1. The Second Punic War methodological research model and its experimentation in the territory of Iliturgi. 2. The evolutionary model of the cult practices and rituals; and their manifestation in the structural systems of the ancient territories; 3. The model of structuring the territory of an oppidum in the Upper Guadalquivir Valley between the 7th century BC and the 1st century AD as the system of organizing the settlement in the territory can inform us of the dynamic of the oppidum itself
