Rural Settlement in Iron Age Cessetania (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula): Characteristics and Socioeconomic Role

Recent research has demonstrated the importance of rural settlement in the Iberian culture, although there are still few rural sites explored in depth. `Rural settlement¿ is the term we use to designate the small habitation sites or agricultural structures that became common from the Middle Iberian...

description Recent research has demonstrated the importance of rural settlement in the Iberian culture, although there are still few rural sites explored in depth. `Rural settlement¿ is the term we use to designate the small habitation sites or agricultural structures that became common from the Middle Iberian Period (450¿200 bc) onward; such sites constituted the basis of a hierarchical settlement system characteristic of societies developing towards archaic states. These settlements consist of one or two buildings together with silos and/or artisanal features. The main difficulty in studying such sites is their poor preservation.
