Material Culture Between Marriage and Deceases in the Eighteenth Century

Abstract

The availability of probate inventories developed, in the first instance, in the joyful moment of the marriage and, ultimately, in the troubled circumstances of the death of one spouse, usually the husband, with regard to 14 Burgos homes in the course of eighteenth century allows, in my opinion, to make a critical analysis of the diachrony of material culture and wealth levels in a bold and innovative way. All that from the perspective of evolutionary biases and socieconomic and socioprofessional categories where each of these household was incardinated. With these pages, historical reconstruction of material culture in the eighteenth centure enters a field sparsely studied dealt with in modern historiography, except in exceptional and exemplary contributions.
