Summary:This article deals with the main stratigraphic problem of the Celtiberian town of Numantia, trying to settle the question of the number of superimposed cities and, related to that problem, the chronological seriation of its ceramics, which remains unsolved since the beginning of research more than two hundred years ago, and have seriously conditioned the chronological interpretation of the rest of Celtiberian sites. Contributions of previous researchers are analyzed, taking into account the new evidence brought about by recent excavations, which allows opening new interpretative perspectives. // ABSTRACT IN SPANISH: Este artículo aborda la cuestión estratigráfica de Numancia, tratando de resolver el número de ciudades superpuestas y, en relación con este tema, el de la ordenación de sus cerámicas, que están sin solucionar desde los inicios de su investigación hace más de doscientos años, y que han condicionado en gran medida la cronología y ordenación de los yacimientos celtibéricos. Se analizan las aportaciones de los investigadores anteriores, teniendo en cuenta las nuevas claves propiciadas por las excavaciones recientes, que permiten abrir nuevas perspectivas interpretativas.
