Abstract
An important set of Kuass pottery has been found during archeological excavations in Cerro de San Juan (Coria del Rio, Seville) –the small hill where ancient Caura was located. Its stratigraphic position is problematic in relation to known chronological contexts in Cadiz. However, the typological features of these pieces, their wide-spread local use and the composition of the pottery clay used in its production allow us to suggest the possible existence of a workshop in the settlement or in the surroundings. In any case, the amount and variety of registered shapes in this city are the highest ones in the Lower Guadalquivir Valley. Its consumption pattern, at the same time, is the closest one to Punic communities.

Summary
Las excavaciones en el Cerro de San Juan de Coria del Río (Sevilla), cabezo donde nació la ciudad antigua de Caura, han proporcionado un buen lote de cerámica de tipo Kuass. Su posición estratigráfica es problemática si se compara con los contextos cronológicos conocidos en Cádiz. Sus rasgos tipológicos, su amplio uso local y la composición de las arcillas permiten proponer la posible ubicación en este asentamiento o en sus cercanías de un taller. La cantidad y variedad de formas registradas hacen de esta ciudad el enclave del Bajo Guadalquivir con mayor presencia de esta cerámica y el más cercano a los patrones de consumo del mundo púnico
