In this communication, we present the archaeological and archaeometric results on a collection of 188
ceramic receptacles from the archaeological excavations carried out in the old Born market of Barcelona
(Spain). The market was converted in a cultural centre and officially opened in September 2013. The centre’s
key attraction is its archaeology which has been re-imagined to communicate the horrors following the fall
of Barcelona to Bourbon siege during the Spanish War of Succession in 1714. These artefacts had been
published in a former study as small vessels to sell products in little quantities. However, due to the scarce
information on materials of similar shape and dimensions, their interpretation is not clear and need more
investigation. The archaeological comparative study demonstrates that these small ceramic receptacles can
be better interpreted as grenades. They had probably been prepared with the aim of using them in an
extreme attempt of defence against the Bourbon attack. The complementary archaeometric investigation
suggests that the assemblage is formed by a homogeneous production made with a calcareous clay from
local marine sediments. |
