%0 Journal Article %T Resultados das sondaxes nun xacemento at赤pico da Idade do Ferro: Pena Redonda (Pontecaldelas, Pontevedra) %A Gonz芍lez Ruibal %A Alfredo %J Cuadernos de Estudios Gallegos %D 2005 %I Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient赤ficas %X The settlement site of Pena Redonda was firstly known in 1981 after an unauthorized excavation that revealed the remains of a round hut and associated materials, belonging to the phases I and II of the Castros Culture (800-400 BC / 400-100 BC). The main singularity of the site comes from the atypical location, in the flat highlands and at the bottom of a small hill. This placement, together with the abundance of rock carvings, constitute a typical Bronze Age landscape rather than an Iron Age one; besides, the site itself lacks the characteristic shape of a hillfort. The archaeological excavation of two huts, previously affected by the illicit works, documented the existence of a long term occupation of the site throughout the phases I and II, which discards the possibility of a seasonal or short term use of the site and poses the question of the selection of this specific location. The historical density of the surroundings and the particular conditions of the natural environment are both factors to be considered. The absence of archaeological contexts following the II century BC (which allowed a good preservation of the preroman remains) remarks the interest of this site. [gl] O xacemento de Pena Redonda 谷 co ecido desde 1981 a ra赤z dunha intervenci車n furtiva que sacou 芍 luz restos dunha estructura circular e material da Fase I e II da Cultura Castrexa (800- 400 a. C. / 400-100 a.C). O interese do sitio radica no seu estra o emprazamento, perto dunha chan elevada e dominado por un outeiro. A paisaxe, onde abundan os petroglifos, 谷 mais propia do Bronce que do Ferro, e o lugar tampouco pos迆e unha morfoloxia t赤pica de castro. A escavaci車n de d迆as cabanas, que foran afectadas polos furtivos, deu como resultado a constataci車n dunha longa ocupaci車n durante as fases I e II, o que fai desbotar a idea de que se trate dun lugar de habitaci車n ocasional e traza cuesti車ns sobre a elecci車n deste lugar determinado. A densidade hist車rica dos arredores e o particular escenario natural son indubidablemente factores que hai que ter en conta. A inexistencia de niveis posteriores ao s谷culo II a. C. -que permitiu a boa conservaci車n dos restos prerromanos- reforza, se cabe, o interese deste xacemento. %K Iron Age %K Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula %K Castros Culture %K Open settlement %K Sequence of occupation %K Edad del Hierro %K Noroeste de la Pen赤nsula Ib谷rica %K Cultura Castre a %K Asentamiento abierto %K Secuencia de ocupaci車n %U http://estudiosgallegos.revistas.csic.es/index.php/estudiosgallegos/article/view/93/93
