Abstract


This paper tries to analyze childhood during the Iron Age "lberian Culture", a topic which has received almost no attention up to now. Every society must find an efficient system in order to transmit to their descendants the body of principles and rules that constitute its foundations, as this is essential to its perpetuation. The way children are treated is a window through which we can discover some keys of the social and ideological organization of any human group. Different archaeological contexts of lberian infancy are here analyzed, and some hypothesis are offered about how lberians organized the different stages of growth, from birth until youth.
