Abstract

This article deals with the main stratigraphic problem of the Celtiberian town of Numantia, trying to settle the questionof the number of superimposed cities and, related to that problem, the chronological seriation of its ceramics, whichremains unsolved since the beginning of research more than two hundred years ago, and have seriously conditionedthe chronological interpretation of the rest of Celtiberian sites. Contributions of previous researchers are analyzed,taking into account the new evidence brought about by recent excavations, which allows opening new interpretativeperspectives.
