Ceramic materiales from the punic horizons of the Castle of Ibiza, excavations of 1988-1989

Abstract

In this article, the ceramic materials from a preventive excavation carried out in the castle of Ibiza between the years 1988 and 1989 are studied. These are elements, vascular the majority, dated mainly between the last decades of the 5th century and the middle of the 2nd century BC., leaving aside others from the Phoenician period, in this case dated to the first two thirds of the 6th century BC. The study and publication of these complexes, some of them stratified, has the added interest of being the first to be carried out in the area of the Punic acropolis of Ibiza, and this fact allows a whole series of chronological details, as well as observations of another genre resulting from its comparison with other Punic sites on the island contemporary to the Castle of Ibiza.
