Sumario:This paper presents some commentaries about the infant burials in amphorae in the Iberian Peninsula (1st Century BC-5th Century AD), and a preliminary study of the texts written during this period (both Roman and Christian) about this theme and the evolution of this practice in the Archaeological record. We defined basically two major periods: the first (until c 250 AD), with some cases (formation), and the second (after c 250 AD) with a visible multiplication and dispersion of this ritual along the Iberian Peninsula, almost side-by-side with the expansion of Christianism. Another aim of this paper is to answer some questions about the motivations of this option: it reflects a reproduction of symbolic systems? Or pragmatic reasons?
