Los resultados...
Geophysical surveys based on ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetic methods have recently been carried out at the Iberian site of Masies de Sant Miquel, which is dated to the Iron Age (seventh–third centuries bc). The design and execution of the survey are presented, as well as the interpretation process, which is based on the interaction betw...
Many different readings have been made of the social and political structure of the Iberian territories in central and western Catalonia. Some researchers argue that the Ilergetes and Lacetani would have developed centralized state-like political entities, whose territorial scope would have coincided with the geographical limits of their ethnic ter...

Animal mobility is a common strategy to overcome scarcity of food and the related over-grazing of pastures. It is also essential to reduce the inbreeding rate of animal populations, which is known to have a negative impact on fertility and productivity. The present paper shows the geographic range of sheep provisioning in different phases of occupa...

Archaeology is a science that permits an interdisciplinary approach to the past. It includes a number of as-pects that make up the human experience and its relationship with the natural environment. Both archaeol-ogy and experimental archaeology explore and apply research techniques, methods and procedures from a variety of disciplines, an approach...
North Africa has a rich tradition of archaeological studies. Its origins and early development are linked to the modern colonization of the region by several European powers, but it has also had a remarkable continuity after decolonization, both in international cooperation missions and in solo work developed by the research institutions of the Mag...
El jaciment protohistòric de Font de la Canya és un jaciment emblemàtic de la recerca arqueològica del Penedès i de Catalunya. Amb una seqüència de 15 anys de campanyes d’excavacions consecutives (1999-2014) ha proporcionat un volum de dades excepcional, en qualitat i quantitat, les quals, sens dubte, representen una aportació cabdal al coneixement...
This paper provides a brief report about an archaeological intervention developed in the protohistorical site of El Cascarujo (Alcañiz, Teruel). These works have been focused on the excavation of one tumular structure and some associated funerary cists. Preliminary information about stratigraphy, architectonical remains, and finds is exposed. The p...
We present the results of the excavation inside the main tower at coll del Moro, as
well as the re-examination of a stratigraphic section made outside the tower in the 1980s,
and the report on another exterior section from the 1990s that has remained unpublished
until now. All this provides a sequence starting in the 6th century bcE, when the tower...

excavated. It has been possible to date two of these graves (53
and 647) to the 6th-5th c. BC, while the dating the third one
(42), whose funerary chamber had been plundered,...
El coneixement de la protohistòria del Magrib oriental-entenent com a tal l'edat del bronze i la primera edat del ferro, és a dir, el segon i el primer mil·lennis aC, de la zona que correspon a les actuals Tunísia i Algèria oriental-presenta un veritable buit. Això és evident si es compara amb l'estat de la recerca sobre el mateix període a Eu-ropa...
While recurrently cited in the specialized bibliography, until recent years Castellet de Banyoles was only really known by the findings of monetary hoards and some luxury ritual vases, in addition to the Hellenistic-type pentagonal towers flanking the site entrance. Excavation work since 1998 has enabled precise dating of the first settlement betwe...

Mas Castellar se encuentra en el extremo oeste de la llanura del Empordà, al NE de Catalunya a pocos km de la fundación de la colonia focea de Empúries. la actividad agrícola y cerealista fue muy importante en la llanura en época ibérica. Pontós fue el principal núcleo para el control y distribución de los cereales.
Uno de los objetivos más importantes es el de documentar el número de asentamientos que se establecieron i organizaron en un mismo yacimiento, uno detrás de otro y a partir del yacimiento de Mas Castellar de Pontós comparar con otros yacimientos dentro de una época que va des finales del siglo VII hasta principios del s.II aC.
