Bisigothic necropoleis, Ethnicity, Ethnogenesis, Post-processualismAbstract
This issue of ‘Arqueología y Territorio Medieval’ includes a compilation of some articles whose intention is to stimulate the debate which, subtly and informally, has been going on during the recent years regarding the ethnic reading of the material culture of the Early Medieval Iberian Peninsula and other related topics under the light shed by recent European research.
The purpose of this dossier is to introduce the new archaeological evidence in order to prepare a new setting in which to revise older ones, debating about the theoretical interpretations given to the so-called “Visigothic necropoleis” and other material evidence, such as Visigothic architecture. This issue includes three monographic articles together with this introduction, which intends to briefly frame the debate.
