Abstract
El objetivo principal del presente estudio ha sido la identificación y, posteriror, clasificación de los materiales cerámicos recuperados en las distintas intervenciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en el yacimiento arqueológico de Oiasso (Irun, Gipuzkoa) entre los años 1992 y 2012. El volumen recuperado asciende a unos 128000 fragmentos aproxidamente. Para ello hemos aplicado una metodología de trabajo, que a fecha de hoy, es bastante novedosa en la Península Ibérica, pero que rápidamente se está abriendo un hueco, nos referimos al sistema británico de tratamiento de cerámico desarrollado por el Museo de Londres (Orton y Hughes 2013), que tiene su inicio en el análisis de las pastas o fábricas, para añadir el análisis tipológico y el decorativo. La colección objeto de estudio, además de por el volumen, presenta interés por la distinta naturaleza de los contextos donde se han recuperado, ya que los hay de tipo doméstico, industrial, portuario y/o, también, de usos especializados, como es el caso de los ambientes termales. Así como por la amplia cronología, que discurre entre poco antes del cambio de Era hasta comienzos del siglo V d.C. aproximadamente, aunque el período comprendido entre el 90 d.C. y 150 d.C., es el que mejor se documenta, ofreciendo el mayor número de registros con una gran diferencia con respecto al resto. De esta forma es posible llevar a cabo un acercamiento a la dinámica del uso y consumo cerámico de la población de Oiasso. Ya que el primer valor, que se le atriubuye a la cerámica, es el de su carácter de ubicuidad, al tratarse de un material presente en cualquier yacimiento de época romana; el segundo, su indestructibilidad, con respecto a otros materiales arqueológicos como la madera, piel, hueso, etc. Además de lo anteriormente expuesto, la cerámica es uno de los indicios más útiles para poder identificar- mediante el análisis de la fábrica/pasta, completado con los análisis tipológicos y decorativos- tanto el origen como la fabricación de las piezas con indepencia del tamaño...
The principal aim of this study was to identify and classify the ceramic material recovered during different archaeological interventions carried out at the Roman site known as Oiasso (Irun, Gipuzkoa) between 1992 and 2012. The volume of material recovered totals approximately 128,000 fragments. The working method used was the British system developed by the Museum of London (Orton & Hughes 2013). While not yet commonly employed on the Iberian Peninsula, this method has become increasingly popular over recent years. The system is based on an analysis of the paste or fabric of the recovered fragments, and only turns to the traditional typological and decorative analyses later on. In addition to being very large, the collection studied here is also interesting due to the widely different nature of the contexts in which the fragments were recovered, with domestic, industrial and harbour-related specimens being identified, along with more specialist uses linked to thermae. The collection is also interesting due to its chronology, which ranges from just before the change of era to the beginning of the 5th century AD (approximately). Within this time frame, the best-documented period is that ranging from 90 AD to 150 AD, from which considerably more material has been recovered than from any other century. This large volume of information provides clearer insight into the use and consumption of pottery in the Oiasso settlement. One of pottery's main values is its ubiquity, since it is a material present at almost every Roman site. It is also fairly indestructible in comparison with other archaeological materials such as wood, leather and bone, etc. Moreover, thanks to the analysis of the paste/fabric, complemented by typological and decorative analyses, it is possible to determine where the artefacts were made, regardless of the size of the fragment recovered...
