“…This is true for the best-known sites in Cessetania, such as Rabassats, Les Guàrdies, Els Manous and Fondo del Roig, although for the last of these pottery finds are very scarce. Moreover, a predominance of storage vessels over tableware is attested at some rural sites in Languedoc (e.g., Larnoux, Saint-Félix-de-Lodez), although the data are once again not abundant (Rascalou et al 2015). This factor is consistent with an orientation intricately linked to cereal production and storage, as suggested by the presence of silos.…”

“…Otherwise, bioarchaeological studies do not show clear differences between the plant species cultivated or the animals consumed at the sites. This is especially the case concerning larger agglomerations, mainly oppida, as has been observed both in Languedoc (Figueiral et al 2015;Forest 2015) and at sites on the central coast of Catalonia during the fourth and third centuries bc (Valenzuela-Lamas 2008;Albizuri et al 2010;López Reyes et al 2011;Nieto-Espinet et al 2021).…”

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. They are usually located on flat areas suitable for cultivation, and research has traditionally prioritised the study of larger sites. In this study, we revise the data from previous investigations in the territory of ancient Iberian Cessetania and present the results of recent research, paying particular attention to the Rabassats site. We compare these rural settlements to those in other nearby territories in the Iberian area as well as in the wider Mediterranean context. Detailed analyses of the remains of rural sites show a greater complexity than is often assumed and suggest that a variety of small settlements, from an economic and probably also from a social point of view, should be included under the generic heading of ‘fourth order’.
