This article aims to integrate a gender perspective in the social analysis of the Tartessian worlds through the study of different funerary contexts. The study focuses on certain funerary manifestations related to collective consumption practices that represent both participation in this
type of act and its sponsorship. It contemplates two of the most relevant practices in these feasts and ceremonies, such as drinking of alcoholic beverages, and animal sacrifice and consumption of meat. To this end, it studies the distribution in the tombs of some of the Tartessian cemeteries of
cups and drinking equipment, meat remains and instruments used for animal sacrifice and dismemberment, according with the sex and age of the human bodies with which they were deposited.

This paper examines several craft production activities that were undertaken in domestic contexts in far western Phoenician settings. An analysis of the distribution of artefacts and waste related with craft production activities reveals that these productive activities were not spatially segregated from care-giving practices. On the contrary, these two kinds of practices often took place in the same settings. The study emphasises the relevance of collaborative domestic economies in these historical contexts-contexts in which the limits between "the domestic" and "the productive" appear to have been enormously fluid. The study's conclusions undermine long-held traditional narratives that imagine a clear-cut separation between the productive sphere-"primarily" associated with men-and the private, domestic sphere-considered to be "essentially" feminine. In this way, the study demonstrates the daily life of these communities was characterised by an entanglement between the spaces, practices, material cultures and agents related to craft production activities and those related to care-giving activities. The flexibility and fluidity of these settings is especially apparent in non-elite domestic groups.

En los inicios del I milenio a.C. las culturas materiales de las comunidades del Sudoeste peninsular experimentan
cambios notables y expresan de forma visible un incremento de las conexiones y de los contactos mediterráneos.
Tradicionalmente esas transformaciones se han interpretado como el resultado de una difusión cultural o de la implantación en la región de un nuevo grupo étnico de origen oriental, cuyas gentes serían no sólo los productores,
sino también los usuarios de esas culturas materiales. Las dos perspectivas hunden sus raíces en los principios de la arqueología histórico-cultural, en especial en un concepto de cultura hoy absolutamente cuestionado por su esencialismo y su ahistoricidad. Las nuevas perspectivas de la arqueología del contacto cultural, y, principalmente, las arqueologías poscoloniales proponen formas de entender la transformación de la cultura material desde perspectivas
no esencialistas que reclaman al mismo tiempo miradas globales y la atención a contextos locales. Estas nuevas perspectivas permiten releer las transformaciones en las culturas materiales de los centros ceremoniales del Sudoeste peninsular que han capitalizado el interés de la arqueología tartésica y fenicia en la última década.

In Western Phoenician settlements, foods, culinary traditions and material culture related to preparation and food and drinks consumption offer us a picture of colonial communities
characterized by an important social and cultural heterogeneity. This picture contrasts with the representation constructed by the colonial elite by means of funerary rituals and commensality
practices that were carried out next to their ancestors’ graves. In these ritual and social acts food, tableware used in these acts and consumption’s ways fade the social and ethnic heterogeneity of every day, because through this discourse is naturalized Phoenician domination and hegemony in these colonial spaces.

Research on everyday life in Mediterranean colonial contexts and, particularly, the analysis of domestic space has enabled us to question the traditional colonial discourse. This has been preoccupied with the supposed duality between colonists and colonized, ethnic and cultural homogeneity and, especially, the exclusivity of adult male representation in colonial archaeology. In this paper we present an analysis of funerary spaces in Phoenician colonies focusing on the male- female relations and the dominant sexual politics as observed in each colonial context.

Culinary technologies and domestic contexts have been one of the spaces traditionally silenced by Phoenician archaeology. This lack of interest for domestic and familiar contexts has nourished discourses that highlight the cultural and ethnic homogeneity of these settings, as well as the male prominence and that of the social groups belonging to the commercial or productive elite. The focus in these domestic spaces, in the
culinary technologies and in the daily foods, gives us a different story about these colonial communities. It offers to us a more dynamic perspective,letting us to view communities socially and culturally more heterogeneous, and at the same time to retrieve the agency of subaltern social groups in the construction of colonial histories.

Este trabajo analiza las actividades rituales y de culto en el ámbito tartésico desde una perspectiva de género. Define algunas de las prácticas rituales que se realizaban durante ceremonias y actos religiosos y explora la relevancia que pudo tener el género a la hora de definir las personas que lideraron y ejecutaron rituales y actividades de culto en estos ámbitos. El centro de atención lo constituye la cultura material relacionada con la ejecución de estas prácticas, en especial, ciertos objetos litúrgicos o rituales que encontramos depositados en tumbas y espacios funerarios en los mundos tartésicos, un concepto que utilizo aquí en su forma plural para subrayar la diversidad de experiencias, situaciones y procesos que atravesaron las gentes y territorios del sur y sudoeste de Iberia entre los siglos IX y V a.C.
