Abstract(s)
Después de que K. Spindler presentara por última vez en 1981 un inventario de los objetos de marfil en el marco de un proyecto de investigación del Instituto Arqueolôgico Alemán de Madrid, financiado por la Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft de Bonn, se ha podido trabajar finalmente en un nuevo inventario completo de los objetos de marfil, verificando el material directamente en los museos. De este modo se ha comprobado la presencia de objetos de marfil a partir del Neolílico final/Calcolítico, antíguo y se ha podido incrementar el número total de piezas. Asimismo se han podido analizar diez objetos de marfil procedentes de Portugal mediante espectroscopia infraroja según tranformación de Fourier (FTIR) en la Universidad de Maguncia (Alemania). Según parece, en el Calcolítico antiguo Portugal recibió sobre todo marfil de elefante africano de estepa procedente probablemente del Noroeste de África. Estos contactos debieron continuar en el Calcolítico campaniforme a juzgar por la presencia de objetos campaniformes en el Noroeste de África,aunque hasta ahora nuestros análisis tan sólo han podido demonstrar la presencia de marfil de cachalote.
The last inventory of ivory objects having been presented by K. Spindler in 1981, a DAI-project financed by the DFG (Bonn,Germany)has now prepared a new, complete inventory of ivory pieces, examining each object on place throughout collections. In fact, ivory is present from the late Neolithic or, respectively, the early Chalcolithic on, the amount of known pieces having increased considerably. Furthermore, ten objects from Portugal were analysed at Mainz University (Germany) using FTIR spectroscopy. It seems that Portugal imported mainly ivory of the African savannah elephant, probably from north-west Africa. Such contacts would seem to have continued thorough the Bell Beaker Chalcolithic, judging from the presence of Bell Beaker objects in north-west Africa, even though our analysis could establish only examples of sperm whale ivory.
