Summary:The authenticity of the so-called Itinerario de Barro has been proven thanks to the use of the thermoluminescence technique on the four fired clay tablets. Controversy around Itinerario de Barro has existed since it was first published almost one century ago, and the verification of its authenticity has been the basis to offer an outline of the identification hypothesis of mansiones.
