En este trabajo abordamos las posibles relaciones entre las improntas monetales y alfareras de
época tardopúnica de Gadir, un tema tratado hasta ahora de forma parcial y preliminar por
diversos investigadores interesados en profundizar sobre este distintivo aspecto económico gadirita.
Concretamente analizaremos las emisiones monetarias que pudieron servir de modelo para el
diseño y factura de algunos sellos alfareros iconográficos constatados en diversas intervenciones
arqueológicas acometidas en la bahía de Cádiz.
En esta ocasión, pretendemos acometer un análisis individualizado y comparativo de ambos
fenómenos de estampación. Trataremos de desgranar cada uno de los aspectos de ambas facturas
desde el punto de vista técnico, iconográfico y cronológico. Nuestro objetivo será conocer el
funcionamiento del entramado económico, social y cívico gadirita que llevó a utilizar una misma
iconografía y una técnica de elaboración similar en dos soportes diferentes y de muy disímil
función. Revisaremos detalladamente los posibles significados dados hasta hoy a estas cuestiones,
al tiempo que intentaremos plantear una argumentación histórica en base a un estudio profundo,
analítico y monográfico, de estos dos característicos hitos materiales de esta prestigiosa ciudad.

Resumen: El presente trabajo se centra en el análisis de tres conjuntos monetales recuperados en el oppidum de Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete). Suman un total de 53 monedas de bronce, distribuidas entre dos calles y un pequeño departamento del barrio iberorromano, sede de una oligarquía local enriquecida por el comercio y con un temprano contacto con el agente itálico. No son tesorillos, sino el resultado de la destrucción instantánea del poblado en el marco de las guerras sertorianas. Cada lote está formado por un homogéneo número de piezas tardorrepublicanas, en su inmensa mayoría acuñaciones de la ceca de Castulo (por tan solo una unidad de Obulco, otra de Bolskan y un semis romano). El estado de las monedas, su caracterización y datación a principios del s. i a. C. están indicando que en Libisosa se tiende a usar numerario reciente compuesto por las especies más inmediatas y fácilmente asequibles. En términos macrohistóricos, su estudio resulta de vital importancia para el conocimiento de la circulación monetaria de ese período ibérico final/tardorrepublicano en esta zona. En términos internos, nos permite plantear la existencia de una secuencia fruto del intento parcialmente frustrado de poner a salvo el numerario de un puesto de pago o cambio monetario.
Palabras clave: material numismático; contextos cerrados; iberos; Hispania republicana; conflicto sertoriano.
Abstract: The present article centres on the analysis of three coin sets recovered in the oppidum of Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete, Spain). They come to 53 bronze coins, distributed between two streets and a small Unit in the Ibero-Roman quarter, the seat of a local oligarchy enriched by trade and early contact with the Italic agent. They are not hoards, but the result of an instantaneous destruction of the settlement in the midst of the Sertorian Wars. Each lot is formed by a homogenous number of Late Republic pieces, in their immense majority coined in the Castulo mint (and also formed by only one coin from Obulco, another from Bolskan and a Roman semis). The state of these coins, their characterization and dating to the beginning of the 1st Cent B.C., indicate that in Libisosa there was a tendency to employ recently minted cash composed of the closest and most easily acquirable coinage. In terms of macro-history, their study is of vital importance for our knowledge of monetary circulation in the Final Iberian/Late Republican period of this area. In terms of internal studies, they allow us to posit the existence of a sequence created by the frustrated events to safeguard the cash employed in a paying or exchange post.
Key words: Numismatic material; closed contexts; Iberians; Republican Hispania; Sertorian conflict.

From 2010 up to 2012 the Regional government (Junta de Andalucía) has developed a project in the Roman
Theatre of Gades, together with the University of Cádiz, the latter commissioned to carry out the scientific
programmed works. The field works are based in an exceptional architectonic project, trying to consolidate the
modern houses still existing over the roman ancient monument (ima cavea, orchestra & scaena), in order to
allow further archaeological research underneath in the future. The archaeological activities have been firstly
compiling and updating the scientific knowledge of all previous works. But also new archaeological soundings,
either in the only not-excavated vomitorium up to date as well as in the lowest steps of the ima cavea and in
the area of the proedria/orchestra. We present in this paper a synthesis of the news related to the Theatrum
Balbi of Gades, from its erection in the late I c. BC till Late Roman times, including some data of the most
important architectonical features revealed.

Resumen: Presentamos en este trabajo los resultados de la intervención realizada en el año 2017 en el seno del proyecto Camposoto-Torregorda sobre los restos de un horno cerámico documentado en la parte alta del Cerro de los Mártires, el cual fue amortizado y usado como vertedero entre mediados del s. II y el s. III d.C. Palabras Clave: Alfarería, horno, época romana, vertedero, Cerro de los Mártires. Abstract: In this paper, we show the result of a dig carried out in 2017 within the Camposoto-Torre-gorda Project. The remains of a ceramic kiln were discovered in the slope of Cerro de los Mártires. This structure was amortized and used as a pottery dump between the middle of the s. II and s. III A.D.

The present study aims to show the effectiveness of a methodological procedure to estimate the volumetric capacity of archaeological ceramic vessels and the net and gross weights of their probable contents. This method can be easily applied, independently of cultural or chronological contexts, and, alongside other historical and economic conclusions, might serve to verify the possible existence of typological and metrological standardizations of domestic or commercial containers. This study gives a detailed description of a simple methodological protocol which uses profile drawings to calculate the approximate volume of any vessel, thus enabling assessment of its conformity to ancient weight systems. This article will illustrate the strength of the method using a sample of Ramon T-11213 amphorae made in the Bay of Cadiz during the fifth century BC, which, given its quantitative and qualitative strengths, proves to be an exemplary case study and a valid pilot.

Public access to underwater and maritime cultural heritage has proven to have a very positive effect on the local economy. This type of heritage is very attractive for the cultural tourism sector in general and for active and diving tourism. The Nautical and Underwater Archeology Line of the University of Cadiz, within the framework of the TIDE Project (Interreg Atlantic Area) and Herakles Project (FEDER-UCA18-107327) have been working on the enhancement of maritime and underwater heritage through the application of new technologies. In this paper, we will present the advances in the project in the Strait of Gibraltar, based on the first phase of scientific analysis and on the definition of a common working methodology that has resulted in a toolkit for the development of tourism activities linked to the MCH and UCH. Pilot activities under development are focused on accessible underwater heritage routes, VR applications to create Dry Dive experiences and the streaming of underwater ...
