dc.description.abstract	The oppidum of Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete) was in the Final Iberian Period the seat of a local aristocracy benefitted by the strategic location of the enclave and an early contact with the Romanising agent. Sector 18 of the Ibero-Roman quarter was dominated by an oligarchic building of large dimensions, excellently preserved due to its instantaneous destruction in the context of the Sertorian wars (82-72 BC). The material record and certain structural elements reveal the exercise of the various forms of production and surplus control; but its inclusion here is due to the overwhelming presence of traces of textile activities and the treatment of raw materials. We are referring to two important accumulations of a peculiar type of loom weight documented in the site (one of them possibly fossilizing a warp-weighted loom frame) and a lead basin with a circular edge with which clear parallels can be established in Pompeii. All this serves us in reflecting upon the functionality of determined associated elements; and, at the same time, upon the control of textile production in these societies by the elites as a distinguishing mechanism or for later redistribution. But also upon the recurring appearance in the material record of objects serving the purpose of spinning or weaving in a context both domestic and ritual, and lastly upon Iconography.
