Abstract

We present a new Iberian sanctuary situated on the hill known as La Loma de Úbeda (Jaén), located at a key con-necting point between the Guadalquivir and Guadalimar valleys. It is an open-air site with a 3rd century BCE votive deposit. A large part of the interest in this case study lies in the application of a strongly interdisciplinary protocol which combines archaeological excavations, systematic magnetic micro-surveying and combined analyses (soil micromorphol-ogy, pollen and phytolith analyses, OSL datings, 3D ground-penetrating radar studies and metallographic analysis). This protocol has made it possible to document the ritual dynamics involving this small area of paleo-wetland. The site is placed at a key point on the ritual itinerary between the town of Baecula (Santo Tomé, Jaén) and the sanctuary of La Cueva de la Lobera in Castellar (Jaén). The present study re-veals the complexity of the religious landscapes in a territory similar to that of Cástulo (Linares, Jaén) in the 4th and 3rdcenturies BCE, in which the natural landmarks with strong specific cultural significances played an important role
