Clay samples were collected from all sites in order to carry out a provenance analysis and to determine if the ceramic production of the proposed archaeological sites was local or foreign. Mineralogical analysis was performed by Thin-Layer Petrography (TLP) and XRay Diffraction (XRD), whereas chemical analysis was done by X-Ray Fluorescence: Semi-quantitative (XRF) and Trace Elemental analysis (XRF-t). Moreover, to complete the study a thermal analysis was carried out by a dilatometer (DLT). Although the number of samples evaluated was limited, in all the studied cases, the analyzed pottery was clearly found to be ...

However, the old concepts and methods are still applied in several studies and a deep reflection about these topics has not been done. This paper focuses on the need of updating the current methodology in order to reach a more rigorous base to support he new interpretation tendencies. So, we will get a better knowledge of the historical trend of this pre-roman people.

From the period of Herrería III, which correspond to Early Celtiberian Period, have been identified several associations of materials with significant under a tipo-chronological point of view. Those items provided us new information about the beginning of Iron Age in the Spanish Plateau. In this paper we have focused our study in the 43 founded fibulae, clearly classifieds in 10 different groups. And this is very interesting because they have been perfectly contextualized.

En este trabajo se analiza la escasa informacion que existe sobre el tema en el ambito de la cultura celtiberica y se trazan las lineas de la futura investigacion.

However, in current crisis context this situation opens us a door for reflection and dynamization.

Following a study on the Iron Age's sky and its relationship with Celtiberian cultures, we present the Celtiberian Archaeological Route. This information is presented to visitors in relation to the landscape and the archaeological site. The ASTROKELTOI project attempts to link the archaeoastronomical popularisation to its cultural and historical frameworks.

It is located in the center of the Celtiberian area and its study could open interesting perspectives to study this historical period. This paper shows the results of its preliminary studies. Key words: Celtiberia, Romanization, Sertorius, Conflict Archaeology.

The study of these graves increased the available information about Late Antiquity of the Spanish East Plateau area. These findings are the remains of a cemetery associated with a rural community and has provided interesting archaeological and anthropological information.

Those are relevant finding because they are well contextualized under stratigraphic and chrononological point of view. All this demonstrates that the people of this geographical area, with important iron mines, used this metal objects and probably they manufactured them from the Early Iron Age.
