| Sumario: | In this paper we present a diachronic analysis of the impact of iron metallurgy on the economy and socio-political or-ganization of the area between the Pyrenees and the River Ebro between the 7th and the 2nd centuries BC.The data come from different types of sites and are studied from two perspectives: the production process (mining, ore processing, the manufacture of objects, workshops, waste, etc.) and the function of the manufactured objects, which have been classified into functional groups (agroforestry and artisanal tools, weaponry and cavalry equipment, culinary and domestic material, and personal garments). Likewise, the changes experienced in the use of iron are valued, with functions initially limited to the symbolic and prestige spheres, but later mainly linked to warfare and production. Explanations for this evolution are proposed based on the power strategies of the elites |
