Archeologia Tardo Antica

RESUMEN Los enterramientos descubiertos, tanto en el interior, como en torno al edículo funerario de Argandenes, aportan valiosos datos sobre un periodo histórico poco estudiado y con escasas evidencias arqueológicas en Asturias. Los materiales cerámicos recuperados en el yacimiento son muy exiguos, en el caso de los restos de vajilla; no así los constructivos: tégulas e ímbrices. La importancia de este latericio reside tanto en su utilización en varias estructuras funerarias como en las decoraciones y marcas de taller presentes en las piezas, y que parecen evidenciar la existencia de una nueva glina, hasta ahora desconocida, en el sector centro-oriental asturiano.

ABSTRACT e burials discovered inland, as well as around the funerary aedicula of Argandenes, provide valuable information about a historical period little researched and with scarce archaeological nds in Asturias. e pottery nds recovered from the site are very meagre with regards to the tableware remains; however this is not the case for the building remains: tegulae and imbri-ces (roof tiles). e importance of this latericius (tilework) lays in its use in various funerary structures as well as in the decorations and the maker's marks founs in these items, wich seem to proof the existence of a new glina (pottery), unknown until now, in the east-central region of Asturias.

The excitement of discovering monuments slightly or totally not known to archaeological studies has always been a non-secondary aspect of common feel in our discipline. Sensationalist reports are very often proposed by scholars to people, that sometimes constitute a valid contribution to the historical reconstruction of the territory, other times they are interpretations that in the light of a more careful examination, they reveal themselves unsubstantiated or they are lacking of the necessary method of analysis to support a hypothesis. This article shows some "discoveries" of recent years in the province of Palermo which the Soprintendenza, after a careful evaluation of the data, thought to be not convincing, for they don't own any foundation or because there are not enough elements to consider them truthful. The Soprintendenza, however, want to highlight that even in these cases dialogue and confrontation, essential elements for historical research, are always appropriate.
