摘要:Comparatively few weapons have been found in settlements of the Iron Age in the Iberian Peninsula. We analyze the methodological problems posed by the study of these contexts in comparison with cemetery fi nds, where most weapons have been found. Using the spatial distribution of weapons in a representative sample of Iberian Iron Age oppida and settlements, we show that there is not a concentration of fi nds in aristocratic houses or special buildings that we could identify as arsenals or magazines. Both in big settlements and small fortifi ed hamlets the available evidence points towards a generalized access to weapons by free men, land owners, a pattern that fi ts well with information given by a number of quite specifi c Graeco-Roman literary sources, and that matches information gleaned from grave goods.
