Cultura material del siglo III en un ambiente doméstico de la Meseta: El conjunto cerrado de la Casa de los Plintos de Vxama

Abstract

We study here a set of finds from an urban house, the Casa de los Plintos, which has been excavated completely near the forum of the Roman town of Uxama (Osma, Soria, Spain). This house was built in the first century, remodelled later on and was destroyed in a fire in the second half of the third century. In a room below the destruction level, an unaltered deposit dating from the fire event was found; this is the set we present and study here. It consists of about one hundred objects, generally quite well preserved, with associations among ware productions, metal objects, coins and another furniture pieces. This set provides a domestic scale image of a part of the material culture in this area of the Tarraconensis during the third century.
