Overview

Este libro analiza los resultados de las excavaciones en el yacimiento de Mas Guso, cercano a la antigua colonia focea de Emporion, centrandose en el periodo mas antiguo, el cual abarca desde las primeras y pequenas ocupaciones pertenecientes al Neolitico Final y bronce Inicial, para continuar con el principal y mas importante asentamiento agricola de la primera Edad del Hierro, que, a su vez, dara paso al establecimiento iberico surgido como consecuencia de la fundacion de Emporion. Se analizan con detalle los diferentes ambitos y estructuras de cada epoca, asi como los distintos restos de la cultura material del yacimiento: ceramica local y de importacion, otros instrumentos de la vida cotidiana, asi como los restos de fauna mas significativos. Abandonado el habitat iberico, decadas mas tarde surgira un nuevo complejo de epoca romana, de caracter publico u oficial (una statio), edificado a finales del siglo II aC, el cual sera objeto de un proximo estudio monografico. The present book analyses the results of the excavation of the settlement of Mas Guso, located nearby the ancient Phocean colony of Emporion, focusing on the oldest periods, from the first small occupations during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, to the larger and more relevant farmer settlement during the Early Iron Age, which in turn gave way to the Iberian establishment that arose as a result of the foundation of Emporion. The domains and structures of each period are analysed in detail, as well as the different kinds of material culture remains found at the settlement: local and imported pottery, other tools and utensils of the daily life, as well as the most significant faunal remains. Decades after the decay of the Iberian settlement, a new Roman complex arose, an official public construction (a statio), built during the late second century AD, which will be the object of an upcoming monographical study.
