''I have always had the impression that it is easier to do these types of panoramic views and states of affairs from a distance than when you are on the ground, as it is common to get lost in details. But whether it is from abroad or from our territory, this work should stimulate the realization of more methodological and knowledge updates in an agile and exhaustive way on the pre-Roman material culture of the Iberian Peninsula in a transversal, transcultural and diachronic perspective.'' – Dr. Raimon Graells i Fabregat [translated] (2022): Complutum
‘This volume is an instance of he recent advance in pottery studies because of the useful integration of chemical analysis, archaeological experimentation, typological studies and post-colonial interpretations of social contacts. It brings some methodological issues up with the purpose of emphasising the new perspectives and possibilities of ceramic studies beyond numerical results and the generation of typologies. Hence, it is a really profitable contribution with certain ideas that can be applied not just to ceramic studies but to other products and the characterisation of their chaîne opératoire.’ – Guiomar Pulido-González (2024): Ancient West and East Volume 23
The Iberian Peninsula in the Iron Age through Pottery Studies showcases the potential of interdisciplinary studies of pottery from the Iberian Peninsula to a wide scientific readership. The book consists of seven papers read at the international conference, Interdisciplinary research on pottery from the Iberian Peninsula, held in Poznań in June 2019. The chapters deal with various aspects of Iron Age pottery including technology, decoration, chemical and mineralogical properties, commerce and social use through archaeological science and the presentation of ongoing fieldwork. The principal methods employed are contextual archaeology, typology, SEM, XRF, petrography.
