Acerca de una figurita cerámica procedente del yacimiento de Los Castellazos de Mediana de Aragón (Zaragoza)

Abstract


 
 
 
 A través de estas líneas presentamos uno de los hallazgos efectuados en el transcurso de la sexta campaña de excavaciones en el yacimiento de Los Castellazos de Mediana de Aragón (Zaragoza). Se trata de una figurita incompleta, realizada en arcilla con gran cantidad de desgrasante, de tonalidades grisáceas con tendencia al negro, y que constituye un ejemplo singular de coroplastia de época ibérica en el Valle Medio del Ebro, tanto por su localización geográfica como por sus características formales, materia prima y ausencia de pintura, uno de los rasgos más habituales en los ejemplares de la misma época constatados hasta el momento en esta área peninsular.
 
 
 

Ebro Valley Gypsum Escarpment Near Zaragoza (NE Spain)—Combination of Highly Valuable Rock Record, Dynamic Geomorphosites and Associated Cultural Heritage

“…However, in outcrops, it displays secondary gypsum with intercalations of mudstones and marls. In these weathered zones that may reach as much as 100 m deep, halite beds have been dissolved and the anhydrite and glauberite have been transformed into gypsum (gypsification) by hydration and incongruent dissolution, respectively (Salvany 2009). Four lithostratigraphic units are distinguished in the Zaragoza Formation, from base to top: (1) basal marl and anhydrite unit; (2) halite unit, with halite-dominated successions us much as 75 m thick; (3) glauberite-halite unit; and (4) anhydrite unit (Salvany et al 2007).…”

“…2) and include economically valuable packages of halite (NaCl) and glauberite (Na 2 Ca (SO4) 2 ). Boreholes carried for sodium sulphate exploration south of Zaragoza city revealed a glauberite-rich succession 100 m thick (i.e., glauberite-halite unit) with glauberite packages in the subsurface as much as 30 m in thickness, which is considered to be one of the most important documented glauberite deposits worldwide (Salvany 2009). Halite beds have been exploited by underground mines in the Remolinos area for over more than one millennium (Fig.…”
