Research on transactions at the beginning of the first millennium B. C. at the western end of the Mediterranean it has tended to concentrate on colonial coasts occupied through scattered Levantine outposts, while intercultural interactions in inland regions have remained ill-defined. This article introduces a set of Egyptian glassware. , specifically beads, an amulet of Hathor and other objects from the rural village of Cerro de San Vicente (Salamanca) from the seventh century B. C. , in the interior of Spain. Macroscopic and chemical analyses show that they were probably manufactured in Egypt during the Middle and New Kingdoms (2nd millennium BC), attesting to a vast Phoenician maritime network linking the two ends of the Mediterranean. The authors interpret these articles as liturgical articles, rather than mere high-status trinkets, part of a widely shared view of the Mediterranean world and related ritual customs. They read about the effect of cultural syncretism, which has reached even the remote and supposedly remote peripheral spaces of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Study of Transactions in the First Millennium B. C. in the western Mediterranean it has focused on coastal spaces colonized through Levantine outposts, while intercultural exchanges in the interior remain unwell defined. Macroscopic examination and investigation of the chemical composition of a variety of objects: adding beads, an amulet with the mask of the goddess Hathor and other fragments of earthenware and glass from the town of Cerro de San Vicente (7th century B. C. ) and other fragments of earthenware and glass from the town of Cerro de San Vicente (7th century B. C. ) . A. D. ) in Salamanca, in the interior of Spain, indicating that they were probably produced in Egypt, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom (second millennium B. C. ). These elements document a vast Phoenician maritime network dependent on both ends of the Mediterranean. The authors interpret these fragments as coming from liturgical elements (and not from prestigious trinkets), belonging to a cosmology and ritual customs not unusual in all Mediterranean societies. They reflect the repercussions of a cultural syncretism that would have affected even the most remote and supposedly peripheral regions of Iberia. Translation via Madeleine Hummler

Study transactions in the first month of January for Chr. im westlichen Mittelmeerraum haben besonders die kolonisierten Küsten mit levantinischen Auβenposten betroffen, währfinish Verbindungen im Hinterland wenig untersucht geblieben sind.

In the Spanish Binnenland there exists Perlen, an amulet with Hathor-Maske and other Fayence and Glasfragmente. The macroscopic and chemical principles of this artifact were established in the Old and Little Reich (2nd century opposed to Chr. ) in Egypt, and were published in a giant phönizisches network, which is discovered at the end of the Mittelmeeres verband, deutet. The Verfassers interpret the norms as liturgical elements and as the pettiness of the elite, which allows them to be a sustainable source of source for the cosmos and cultural venues in the small geographical space.
