El excepcional conjunto de hallazgos que aparecio en su interior es congruente con la vinculacion del pozo a una autoridad politica relevante. Esta circunstancia motiva la discusion sobre el posible papel jugado por la fortaleza de Gijon durante la formacion del Reino de Asturias y el paradojico silencio que sobre este centro mantienen las cronicas asturianas entre la retirada de la guarnicion musulmana (ca. 720 d.C.) y la primera referencia a la llegada de normandos a la costa asturiana (ca. 844 d.C.).

Instead of a process of abandonment lasting several centuries, we propose that the disuse of the well was the result of a traumatic event happened during the last third of the eighth century AD. The exceptional assemblage of findings recovered inside is consistent with a connection between this well-cistern and a relevant political authority. This fact brings out the discussion about the role possibly played by the fortress of Gijon during the formation of the Kingdom of Asturias and the paradoxical silence maintained about this centre in the Asturian chronicles between the withdrawal of the Muslim garrison (ca. 720 AD) and the first reference to the arrival of Normans to the Asturian coast (ca. 844 AD).","PeriodicalId":38152,"journal":{"name":"Munibe Antropologia-Arkeologia","volume":"26 1","pages":"265-281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84977905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are the first testimony of cremation as funerary ritual we have to the west of the river Leitzaran (Gipuzkoa, Navarre), together with the stone circles we have excavated in Beaskin hilltop.

These structures have been dated to Late Bronze Age and Iron Age using radiocarbon dating. Ondarre I burial-mound stone circle has a diameter of 7 meters and 35 standing stones. Most of these standing stones are different varieties of limestone and only two are made of sandstone. The mound is built with soil and it is 45 cm thick.

EnglishFrom 2011 to 2014 the Mauranus Research Project team, a project whose purpose is to study the transition between the ancient and medieval world in Cantabria, carried out 3 archaeological interventions in Riocueva site. This site is a cave that corresponds to one of the entries to a karstic complex about 3km long although the archaeological site occupies about 70-80m from the vestibule. Archaeological studies have confirmed the sepulchral character of the deposit, which has been dated by studying the C14 between 7th and 8th centuries AD and by TL between 6th and 9th centuries AD. We report the anthropological and paleopathological study of the human remains recovered after the 8 archeological surveys were completed. The hole sample was very fragmented (498 human bone fragments, most of them very small), because of the action of animals and humans. Moreover, they were affected by the intentional use of fire, so all this circumstances hindered the anthropological study. The aim was to establish the Minimum Number of Individuals deposited in the cave, as well as other anthropological and paleopathological features that characterize the sample. At least 8 individuals have been identified, 4 subadults (a perinatal, a child of 2-3 years, a child of 3-4 years and a child of 6-11 years) and 4 very young adults. No important pathologies neither traumas were recognized, so the cause of death is unidentified. Important intentional anthropogenic and faunal taphonomic alterations were reported (fragmentation of the bones, dispersion and fire damage). Both the site and the population show similarities with other archeological sites, the caves of Las Penas (Mortera, Pielagos. Cantabria) and the Lower Gallery of La Garma (Omono, Ribamontan del Monte. Cantabria), that we review in this report. All of them were used from 650 to 730 a.C. as atipical sepulchral sites, since the normal practice was to bury dead people in necropolis.

There are not many remains form the Early Christian period in this geographical area. Nevertheless, the discovery of a church during the archaeological works around the Gothic Cathedral constitutes the oldest testimony of Christian building in the city. During these archaeological works, a human male body was found on the floor of the church. It was named Individual number 6, and his death is the principal aim of this paper. Distinguishing between perimorten and postmorten fractures is not an easy task due to the key macroscopic characteristics which can be appreciated in perimortem fractures to differentiate from the postmortem ones. However, a link is made between the time of dead and the lesion which is extremely difficult. The dampness of the bone has lasted after the time of death, thus showing similar properties such as fresh skeletal tissue. For this reason, it is necessary take care of intrinsic and extrinsic evidence in order to analyse the cause of death. In this work-study, an approximation of the cause of death of number 6, stresses the importance of the interaction between physical anthropology and archaeology with the aim of interpreting the events of these characteristics.

Por ello, el analisis de las informaciones obtenidas y su contextualizacion a escala regional ofrecen interesantes aportaciones al debate sobre las formas de poblamiento y subsistencia adoptadas por las comunidades del I milenio a.C. en el Noroeste iberico. EnglishIn this article we present and discuss the archaeological data obtained in the 2012 and 2013 excavations carried out in the hillfort of El Castru, in Vigana (Balmonte de Miranda, Asturias, NW Iberia). The excavations have showed a long-sequence occupation of the hillfort since the Early Iron Age to the early Roman period. The site constitutes a good example of the small Iron Age hillforts of the western Cantabrian Mountains. For this reason, the analysis of the information collected during fieldwork and its contextualization at regional level provide us with interesting considerations for discussing about the settlement patterns and subsistence systems adopted by the I millennia BC communities in NW Iberia. The manuscript is opened by a general overview of the hillfort, including a contextualisation of its surrounding landscape. Then, a detailed description of the six stratigraphic phases we identified during the excavations is presented, paying attention to the stratigraphic relations between different layers and structures. In addition, five radiocarbon dates are presented to build up the chronology of the site. Three huts and metallurgical production areas were explored, resulting on a significant collection of materials. The structures and layers that create each stratigraphic group are characterised considering a broad discussion about the archaeological materials that were discovered through the excavations, paying particular attention to pottery assemblages. The study and discussion of an outstanding zooarchaeological remains collection, some seeds and four pollen samples offers a relevant window to understand the anthropization of the surrounding landscape along the biography of this site. Diverse agricultural activities were developed in connection with a complex arrangement of pastoralist strategies, where we envision a growing specialization on cattle herding along the biography of this site, while agriculture is based in a wide range of complementary crops including several types of cereals. The discussion of these data considering Landscape Archaeology as our theoretical and methodological framework becomes a relevant case study in the geographical context of the western Cantabrian Mountains, where we lack this kind of approaches.
