Modes of Religiosity in Iberian Iron Age Caves: Religious Behaviour and Sensorial Experience

Abstract

We propose a study aimed at the observation and analysis of the models of religious behaviour (cognitive models) and forms of religiosity associated with worship and Iberian rituality. We focus on cult places, as they clearly enacted an important role in the religiosity of these protohistoric societies. From a spatial perspective they played an active part in the territorial organisation. Their functions were heterogeneous, although their role in community identification and cohesion is evident.
