Este trabajo sintetiza los testimonios de los autores grecorromanos y las excavaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo durante el siglo xx para caracterizar, analizar y reflexionar sobre los sistemas defensivos de esta ciudad celtibérica.

Para avanzar en el conocimiento sobre la agricultura y el uso de recursos vegetales en sitios arqueológicos, este artículo propone el análisis de almidones como una metodología que permite ampliar los datos arqueobotánicos procedentes de sitios arqueológicos. Se presentan los resultados del análisis de almidones realizados con muestras obtenidas de 6 artefactos de molienda y 14 recipientes cerámicos procedentes del yacimiento de Numancia (Garray, Soria) durante el final de la Edad del Hierro y la romanización. A través de esta metodología, se ha logrado identificar almidones de Triticeae (Triticum spp. y Hordeum vulgare), avena (Avena spp.), bellota (Quercus ilex) y leguminosas (Fabaceae). Estos datos corroboran el consumo de cereales y recursos de los bosques adyacentes a Numancia, en una estrategia mixta de cultivo y recolección estacional. Además de la identificación taxon...

En este articulo intentaremos averiguar, los utiles resultantes de las diferentes extracciones, bien sea del asta principal o de los candiles, y como se han realizado estas. EnglishThe finding of the middle part of a red deer antler (Cervus elaphus), in the celtiberian level of Numancia, has allowed to study the technique of cutting and fragmentation of the main antler, as well crown tines, based on the traces left by saws or axes. The main aim of this paper is determining the resulting utilities extracted from the deer antler and the crown-tine and the way there were produced.

After the city was destroyed by Scipio Aemilianus in 133 BCE, it was rebuilt and destroyed again during the Sertorian War (75-72 BCE). During the times of Augustus it was populated again as a pilgrimage city on Roman Road XXVII of the Antonine Itinerary, maintaining its indigenous urban planning. During the Flavian period, the city obtained the ius latii and the municipium titles, which entailed demographical growth and a monumentalising process of the public buildings, while maintaining its indigenous urban planning and domestic structures to a large extent.

[EN]: It is analyzed a new iconographic representation with horse head and serpentine body, executed on a food containing vessel, well contextualized archaeologically, that enriches the unique iconography of the Celtiberian city of Numantia.

The material was found to be a polystyrene-like material, which is a very rare fossil resin known as Siegburgite or class III amber. Until now, this material was found in Europe only at two sites, both localised in Germany and it is the first time that this type of amber was identified in wrought archaeological artefacts. The discussion includes the applicability of the method to distinguish false from true and amber of different origin, its use and trading as well as a hypothesis for a transport route. The study highlights the need for a more systematic study of archaeological amber remains. The finding also proves the exploitation and trading of local, non-Baltic amber deposits throughout the Roman Empire.

Se analizan las aportaciones de los investigadores anteriores, teniendo en cuenta las nuevas claves propiciadas por las excavaciones recientes, que permiten abrir nuevas perspectivas interpretativas.
