This paper presents the results of the archaeological study of the material culturefrom four contexts in the historical sector of the city of Popayán and surroundingsdating to the end of the 16th century and the 17th century. Each of them representdifferent social sectors established during the colonial times. The analysis of the material culture of these four contexts has allowed to solvequestions such as: which were the aspects of ceramic manufacture of the pre- Hispanicperiod that lasted in the local production during the first century and a half ofcolonization, which were the characteristic that the local production presented, whattype of ceramic was imported, how this good was distributed among the different sectorsthat conformed the colonial society and in what way this distribution is indicating adifferential access to these consumption goods.

La mayor parte de las esculturas y de las inscripciones funerarias de Barcino proceden del interior de las torres y del lienzo externo de la muralla tardía de esta colonia, lugar donde fueron reutilizadas al construirse el recinto defensivo a partir le finales del siglo III. En el presente artículo se analizan los datos que aporta este material al conocimiento del entorno funerario barcinonense. A pesar de tratarse de disiecta membra hallados en un contexto de reutilización, estos materiales, en su mayoría labrados en piedra local de las canteras de Montjuïc, enriquecen considerablemente los escasos hallazgos de enterramientos in situ de época altoimperial, de los que los sepulcros exhumados en la plaza Vila de Madrid son los más representativos. Los epígrafes dan a conocer gentilicios itálicos, llevados en muchas ocasiones por individuos de ascendencia servil. Los restos escultóricos permiten discernir un número destacable de monumentos funerarios, predominando dos tipos, los turriformes y los grandes altares con pulvinos. En los relieves es patente la influencia itálica y la perduración del estilo triunviral. Most of the sculptures, and the funerary inscriptions of Barcino come from inside of the towers and the external stretch of the late wall of this colony. There they were re-used to build the defensive enclosure of the 4th century. This article analyzes the data that this material brings to the knowledge of the funeral environment of Barcino. In spite of being disiecta membra found in a context of reuse, these materials, in its majority carved in the local stone quarries of Montjuïc, enrich considerably the few findings in situ of burials of the highimperial period. Between them the tombs exhumed in the Vila de Madrid square are the most representatives. The epigraphs made know Italic names, brought on many occasions by individuals of servile descent. The sculptural remains allow us to discern a remarkable number of funerary monuments, predominantly two types: the mausoleums in form of tower and the big altars with pulvini. In the reliefs is evident the Italic influence and the persistence of the triumviral style.
