En este artículo se aborda la realidad estratigráfica y estructural de una de las tumbas más interesantes de la necrópolis ibérica de Cerro del Santuario (Baza, Granada), en la que se halló la estatua de “la dama”, hace ahora medio siglo. A partir de la reexcavación de dicha tumba en 2015 y de nueva documentación gráfica se realiza una propuesta más completa y argumentada de su arquitectura, relacionándola con lo que conocemos, en la actualidad, de esta necrópolis.
1. «…Son de indudable factura romana, por cuya razón atribuimos el monumento a esta época y nos inclinamos a situarlo, con todas las reservas, en época imperial» (Presedo, 1982, 262) LVCENTVM XXXIV, 2015, 247-260.
Recent research has emphasized the importance of different kinds of 'central places' in the articulation of power in the Iberian Peninsula across the late antique and early medieval periods. Such sites were a focus of political, social and economic activity at a local level, also serving to integrate their regions into broader systems such as the emerging Visigothic kingdom and networks of taxation and trade. This article relates central place theory to the study of the highlands of Granada in the sixth centurya period and place with minimal documentary and literary evidencein order to understand developments in the organization and defence of the territory in the context of conflicts between Visigoths and Byzantines.Particular emphasis is placed on the control of the communications network the exploitation of the best agricultural land, mining and the likely agency of local elites.
Presentamos el hallazgo en las proximidades de Baza de un fragmento de tablero de altar que conserva parte de una inscripción en el canto en la que se menciona a un obispo que, por la terminación del nombre, podría haberse tratado del obispo Eusebio, que acudió al IV Concilio de Toledo en el año 633. Esperamos que las futuras investigaciones en el yacimiento puedan confirmar esta hipótesis. SUMMARY This paper presents the discovery of an altar mensa fragment on the surroundings of Baza. The mentioned altar piece has remains of an inscription on its edge where a certain bishop is reffered to. Given the ending of his name,-bius, this bishop could have been Eusebius, who attended the IV Council of Toledo on 633. We are hoping that future research on the piece will confirm this hypothesis. PALABRAS CLAVE: Baza, tablero de altar, época tardoantigua, obispo Eusebius?, epigrafía.
