Cerámica. Materialidad y simbolismo: En torno a los significados que encierra el consumo de cerámica importada en Asturias

Abstract

Through the study of 3,220 pottery pieces ranging in date from 13th century to 18th century that have been found in different archaeological excavations carried out in Principality de Asturias, we have been unable to find social data. In this way, we provide a summary of the evolution of the pottery use and consumption in Asturias from the Late Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period. We will focus on some of the meanings and social patterns point by the uses. Finally, we will study some of the pottery pieces that were used by the social elites as an instrument to reflect their ruling status.
