Sumario:This paper describes the results of the residue analysis carried out on two ceramic vessels from the Bronze Age hillfort of La Peña del Moro, in Navas de Oro, Segovia. The data obtained by gas chromatography (gc-ms) reveal the presence of animal and vegetable fats, highlighting the remains of pine resin identified in the walls of two of the four vessels analysed. The specific function of both ceramics is also investigated through the analysis of organic residues preserved inside them, offering a testimony of the different activities in which they were probably used. In the discussion of our work, based on archaeological, historical and ethnographic data, we place special emphasis on the use of pine resin during prehistoric times. In a very synthetic way, we will list some of the uses of pine sap found in classical sources, with the aim of trying to extrapolate some of its applications by the Cogotas community that inhabited the settlement.
