Abstract

This text examines twin pottery forms dating from the Bronze and Iron Ages found in the current Portuguese territory. The published data is gathered and explored further whilst presenting five unpublished specimens, as well as others nearly forgotten until now. This integrative approach allows for a thorough inventory of this pottery universe, accompanied by the elaboration of a typology proposal, although subject to the sample’s high level of fragmentation. The analysis of specimens and the valorisation of their contexts (mainly settlements, except a cave of ritual nature) is combined with the scenery of twin vessels in the remaining Iberian space and even beyond it, commenting on some of the interpretative challenges around these peculiar pottery forms, namely in the matter of function and semantics.
