IDENTITIES FROM AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE. THE SOUTH OF THE IBERIAN PENINSULA AS AN OBJECT OF STUDY FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF CULTURAL MATERIAL (5TH-7TH CENTURIES AD)

The work that is presented is focused on the study of identities from an archaeological perspective, and specifically with the material culture found in funerary contexts of the southern peninsula in the transition from the clas-sical to the medieval world (5th-7th centuries AD). The population groups that inhabited the south of the Iberian Peninsula during the chronology under study had a strong Hispano-Roman substrate, and evidence of cultural and economic interaction with other groups is appreciated. However, sometimes the chrono-logical and cultural ascriptions were made from this type of objects, without taking into account other elements that would help to understand these popu-lation groups.
