El poblamiento rural fenicio en el sur de la Península Ibérica entre los siglos VI a III a.C.

Abstract

In the paper are analyzed the evidences of rural western Phoenician population and soil exploitation between 6th to 3rd centuries BC in southern Iberia, assuming that all they belonged to the political territories of western Phoenician cities. A tipology of rural settlements is proposed using range and size criteria. Archaeological surveys information and agricultural evidences from excavations, based on archaeobotanical analysis in some western Phoenician sites are used to propose a synthesis of a non well studied topic.
