Espacios de elaboración y consumo de alimentos en el asentamiento ibérico de Molí d'Espígol

Abstract

Nourishment, eating is a concept embedded in society as something natural, necessary to live. However, there are few occasions when aliments are consumed directly, since most of them require a previous treatment consisting of a series of complex activities. In these actions, an important set of infrastructure and permanent spaces defined and integrated within the settlements are involved such as processing, storage and consumption spaces that include artefacts, instruments and structures, whose remains have been, in many cases, part of the archaeological record in the Iberian deposits; in this paper, the case of Molí d’Espígol is considered as an example for the analysis and definition of those activities and spaces.
