Resumo
This project focuses on the analysis and critical review of a characteristic type of deposits located in the city of Gadir (Cádiz), known in the scientific literature as “ritual wells”. They are underground structures that appear clogged with materials and organic remains as a result of the celebration of different ritual acts. The main objective is to explain the cultural and historical reasons why these deposits arise, develop and disappear, and the actions that generate them. To this end, it is necessary, on the one hand, to fix the chronology of the contexts and, on the other hand, to identify and isolate the different steps of the “ritual operative chain”. The results obtained allow us to suggest that it is an ancestral ritual from Cádiz enhanced by the arrival of the Carthaginians, possibly as a means of channeling latent or manifest social conflict that the situation should have generated in the city; disappearing when the conflict ends.
