DESCRIPTION:This lecture will present the project IBERIRON\, of study of I
 ron Technology in the Iberian Peninsula in pre-Roman times\, a region know
 n since classical times for its mineral wealth and the quality of its weap
 ons. For this framework\, the study of the technology of Iron poses some p
 articular methodological problems\, which have led to it being an under re
 searched subject until recent years\, especially if compared with other me
 tals technologies. The aim of the project is to approach a broad study of 
 iron objects from the archaeological record\, especially weaponry\, and de
 termine the characteristics of this technological knowledge in the territo
 ry. The results are to be used to approach broader issues regarding how te
 chnological knowledge is developed\, exchanged and transmitted\, as well a
 s address questions about the origins of iron metallurgy in this geographi
 cal area.
