Resumen

As a result of a research project at Los Almadenes (6th century BCE; Hellín, Spain), developed by a team of archaeologists from the University of Alicante, and the necessity to adapt earlier and current studies about the settlement, new theories and methods related to feminism and gender have been applied to site interpretation. This paper tackles the analytical issues of loom weights and spindle whorls, found in the archaeological record of Los Almadenes since the beginning of site excavations in the 1990s, in addition to the ongoing debate about their context and meaning for the female presence at this site. All in all, this research examines the appropriateness of using a direct reading of the archaeological record to link these tools and the female role. This paper presents several case studies from other cultures to explore this issue.
