Abstract
Post-processual archaeology in Spain has had a short historiographical trajectory. Rather than trying to carry out the historiography of this theoretical framework by Spanish archaeologists �an issue that has already been assessed by other authors� this paper will develop one of the principles of post-processual archaeology, that is, the acknowledgment of the alterity of past societies. In particular, it will consider a case study of the Middle and Late Bronze Age of central Iberia (18th to 10th centuries B.C.), the archaeological group of Cogotas I. In order to do so it will analyse those archaeological contexts in which we can find complete pots and quern stone deposits. This will enable us to identify the formal categories according to which the prehistoric communities performed the filling of the pits, some of which could correspond to the way in which this Bronze Age society was organised.
