A detailed study of ceramics from the Iberian sites commonly known
as 'Las Motillas' - arguably the most singular form of prehistoric
settlement on the Iberian Peninsula. Located in the central area of
Spain called 'La Mancha' they date to the Bronze Age (2200-1500
cal. BC), with the sites characterised by artificial tells produced
by the destruction of complex fortifications with concentric stone
walls. These sites were believed to be funerary barrows until the
1970s, when the systematic excavation of La Motilla del Azuer (near
Daimiel (Ciudad Real), on the left bank of the Azuer River) was
undertaken. From the beginning of the fieldwork, the nature of the
fortified settlement quickly appeared, clearly defined thanks to
the documentation of a central fortification surrounded by a small
settlement and its necropolis. This study assesses the Bronze Age
pottery assemblages from the site, presenting a typological and
technological classification.
