Abstract

The available data for the study of dress in the Iron Age of southern Portugal is scarce, being limited to metallic dress complements (fibulae and belt buckles). A significant part of these elements was however retrieved in excavations for which the available records do not allow a detailed analysis of their meaning and of the identity of their wearers. Nonetheless, the deployment of a simultaneously contextual and comparative approach can result in new insights on the factors – whether social, political or cultural – which influenced the evolution of dress, as illustrated in this contribution through the paradigmatic case study of the Iron Age necropolis of Alcácer do Sal, whose analysis allows for a reflection on the present and future of the study of Pre-Roman dress in southern Portugal.
