Las formas de intercambio y las estructuras comerciales orientalizantes en la Vega Baja del Segura: dos variables de estudio arqueológico
Abstract
At this article, we want to study the trading economy of the population of the oriental coast of «Península Ibérica» at fisrt millenium B.C., by means of two archaeological categories of protohistoric economy: the commodities of exchange and the trading structures. How they had been studied, what kind of theoric models had been stablished. We want to reexamine the general question, working on the specific exemple from the archaeological settlements of the lower part of the Seguraʼs Valley. Furthermore, revise the interpretation of the spaciality of orientalizing process at P. Ibérica, the changes of the definition of the Orientalizing concept, and the interpretation of this area, VBS, inside of the «orientalizing world», such as secondary area of expansion for the phoenicians of southern peninsular region. Itʼll be our experimental laboratory to determinate if itʼs posible, with archaeological arguments, support the «phoenician» model, based on colonial structure, or others, that defended a mixed economy structure at this area.
