El Bronce Final prefenicio en Huelva según el registro arqueológico del Cabezo de San Pedro. Una revisión cuarenta años después

Abstract

Almost fourty years ago, thousands of pottery sherds discovered in Cabezo de San Pedro in Huelva demonstrated the existence of two historial periods belonging to the Late Bronze Age in this archaeological site, both of which developed well before the arrival of the Phoenicians to the Western Atlantic. In the late 1960s, a preliminary study of the evolution of local pottery decorated with stroke burnished and red painted patterns made it possible to assess the local evolution of the site throughout the first millenium B.C., including the Orientalizing and Romanization processes. Research developments over the last years allow us to qualify previous approaches, rejecting outdated explanations and opening other lines of interpretation that may contribute, with a higher degree of objectivity, to understand the archeological data of the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula in order to rewrite its history.
