摘要:On the basis of a systematic study of collections in the National Archaeological Museurn of Madrid and the Archaeological Museum of Barcelona, bronze figurines of the Iberian period are put into typological order. The possible methods by which the figurines were manufactured are discussed. Our conclusions are based on a qualitative and quantiative archaeometallurgical analysis of a representative sample of the figurines. We no longer believe it is possible to date theses pieces simply on the basis of their «stylistic» characteristics.
