Cerámica, espacio doméstico y vida social: el temprano al-Andalus en el sudeste peninsular a la luz de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete)

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la cerámica emiral como indicador material de las formas de vida social. Para ello, hemos basado nuestro trabajo en el estudio de los espacios domésticos. Se contrastan dos aspectos: el conocimiento preciso de los conjuntos materiales emirales en el SE de al-Andalus, y la lectura contextual (social antes que morfológica) de diversos conjuntos materiales procedentes de espacios domésticos bien documentados arqueológicamente en el barrio emiral de El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete). El número de objetos completos y su variedad funcional permite comprender el espacio doméstico y proponer pautas de comensalía y vida social.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the pottery of Emiral Chronology as an indicator of material forms of social life. For this, we have based our work on the study of domestic spaces. Two facets of this pottery have been contrasted: precise knowledge of sets of Emiral pottery in Southeast al-Andalus, and the contextual reading (social before than morphological) of several groups of materials from domestic spaces, that have been archeologically well documented in the Emiral neighborhood of the ‘Tolmo de Minateda’ (Hellín, Albacete). The number of complete objects and their functional diversity allow understanding the domestic space and propose meal manners and social life.The aim of this paper is to analyze the pottery of Emiral Chronology as an indicator of material forms of social life.
