La presencia de un conjunto significativo de fusayolas entre los ajuares de la necrópolis de la Edad del Hierro de Olival do Senhor dos Mártires (Alcácer do Sal, Portugal) plantea cuestiones de gran interés sobre los límites entre la función de estos elementos y su significado simbólico y escatológico. En este estudio se abordan esas cuestiones, analizando por un lado las características físicas, tecnológicas y morfológicas de las piezas, y por otro los posibles códigos simbólicos y religiosos que las convierten en elementos integrales del ajuar funerario en distintas comunidades del sur peninsular.The presence of a significant number of spindle-whorls among the votive offerings of the Iron Age necropolis of Olival do Senhor dos Mártires (Alcácer do Sal, Portugal) poses interesting questions regarding the boundary between the functional role of these elements and their symbolic and scatological significance. In this contribution those questions are addressed, on the one hand, through an analysis of their physical, technological and morphological characteristics; on the other, by assessing the possible symbolic and religious context which makes them an integral part of the funerary offerings in different communities of the southern Iberian Peninsula.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
