Métodos y problemas interpretativos en los estudios de cerámica utilitaria: los materiales cerámicos y sus limitaciones en el yacimiento de Revenga, Burgos (s. VI-XI)

Archaeological fieldwork at the site of Revenga (Comunero de Revenga, Burgos) allowed discovering in recent years some late antique and early medieval pottery sherds. Given their precarious state of preservation, the utilitarian character of these products and the still existing lacks of knowledge in this domain, the materials found introduce some interpretative problems. We attempted to solve some of these throughout the petrographic characterization of these vessels. According to the results obtained new significant data contributing to the knowledge of peasant communities at the Upper Arlanza Basin are introduced, and a more precise occupation sequence at the site of Revenga is discussed, opening new perspectives for future research.
