Abstract

The objectives of this succinct work orbit around two questions. The first, to carry out a critical analysis of the existing bibliography on the Sphinxes of Haches and the ashlar with nacelle molding exhumed in the middle of the s. XX in Los Cucos (Bogarra, Albacete) that refer to contextual and spatial matters. The second, to present our contribution to this problem and to propose perspectives for future work, in order to encourage the necessary archaeological revisions of the vast set of decontextualized sculptural elements in the pre-Roman area.
