Abstract
The settlement of Valencina de la Concepcion (Seville, Spain) is one of the most important sites in the Iberian Prehistory, not only for its great tombs, but also due to its magnitude. In recent years, research has focused on the study of the technical and social organization of the first craft productions, with special emphasis on metallurgy and the manufacture of ivory objects. In spite of the innumerable evidences over the site, only recently the ceramic assemblage has been object of an analysis. The combination of archeometric (petrographic and chemical analysis) and morphological characterization allow us to reconstruct the different stages of the pottery production and to propose its first model of technical and social organization. The data provided by the investigation suggests the existence of a complex economic and social model, organized around supradomestic units that already show a certain degree of economic specialization.Keywords
