“…The abovementioned characteristics allowed this village, with previous settlements of the copper and bronze age, to develop a settlement that has lasted until the present. The stone, therefore, has been the fil rouge of this millenary culture, representing the feature that has allowed Porcuna to have its archaeological and architectural heritage (Chapa et al, 2009).…”

Human settlements, throughout history, have been characterised by the proximity of places of natural wealth, in order to perpetrate life and to strength their own anthropological and material culture. This is the case of Porcuna, a village in the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), with more than sixty centuries of interrupted human presence. The main natural resource of the area is a deposit of sandstone used for three million years. The above-mentioned stone has been the constructive material in this territory for all the ages, marking not only its material culture but also its own social anthropology. Considering the durability of this material, it is possible to appreciate that its use has remained unvaried in spite of continuous changings concerning techniques or demands. The presentation deals with several cultural heritage buildings in Porcuna, carried out with the same local sandstone, from the Roman amphitheatre (I century b.C.) to the so-called Casa de la Piedra (XX century). Starting from this analysis, it is possible to observe that the same material has been used, over the years, in different cultural heritage buildings that have been affected by the same stone deteriorations. Basically, a single material has produced a vernacular culture conformed to different moments in the history of the village, allowing to preserve some relevant cultural heritage architectures.

“…La constatación fehaciente de que la oquedad trasera de la escultura sirvió como contenedor de cenizas y huesos humanos 8 sitúa la efigie en un paisaje funerario que resta por descubrir. Su uso la aleja por completo de conjuntos escultóricos con los que se la suele emparentar, como los de Cerro de los Santos (Ruiz Bremón 1989;León 1998;Chapa y González 2013) o Porcuna (Blanco 1987(Blanco , 1988a(Blanco , 1988bNegueruela 1990;Chapa et al 2009) 9 , y la acerca inevitablemente a esculturas halladas en necrópolis como el guerrero y la Dama de Baza (Presedo 1982; Chapa e Izquierdo 2010). El paralelismo funcional con la segunda se antoja contundente, por más que la oquedad no esté exactamente en su espalda.…”

Este artículo analiza las huellas de utillaje identificadas en la Dama de Elche, ofreciendo una nueva documentación sobre esta emblemática pieza. Los resultados permiten cuestionar el carácter de busto que tradicionalmente se ha adjudicado a la escultura. En paralelo, se revisa la documentación bibliográfica sobre las circunstancias de su hallazgo en 1897 en el contexto de los descubrimientos posteriores en el territorio ibérico y de las intervenciones arqueológicas en La Alcudia desde 2017. Por último, se propone un recorrido de la escultura desde su función prístina como urna funeraria, pasando por su conversión en busto y su uso final como simple mampuesto de una construcción por definir.

The archaeological heritage at Cerrillo Blanco (Porcuna, Spain) is made up of 27 sculptural ensembles and hundreds of fragments dated between the seventh and second centuries BC. They represent a fundamental milestone in Iberian art and culture. Despite their relevance, no scientific studies have been carried out to date in order to fully understand the materials, intentions and techniques that led to their creation. This is a study carried out on original pieces from the Archaeological Museum of Jaén using stereoscopic optical microscopy (SOM), polarised optical microscopy (POM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray analysis (FESEM-EDX) and spectrophotometry (SF). The results obtained provide new information on the material composition of this important legacy of the Iberian civilization as well as its main alteration factors.
