Serrat dels Espinyers (Isona i Conca Dellà, Lleida, Catalonia), a multi-period storage site in the Pre-Pyrenees

There are strong interactions between an economic system and its ecological context. In this sense, livestock have been an integral part of human economies since the Neolithic, contributing significantly to the creation and maintenance of agricultural anthropized landscapes. For this reason, in the frame of the ERC-StG project ’ZooMWest’ we collected and analyzed thousands of zooarchaeological data from NE Iberia. By considering these data in comparison with ecological indicators (archaeobotanical remains) and archaeological evidence (settlement characteristics and their distribution) this paper seeks to characterize changes in animal production and the relationship between people, livestock, and their environment. These methods allow for an investigation of the topic at different scales (site, zone, territory) with a broad diachronic perspective, and for consideration of orography and cultural traditions alongside climatic factors. Through this integration of various streams of evidence, we aim to better understand the structure of ancient economic systems and the way they conditioned human decision-making on animal production. Results show a shifting relationship with the territory between the Bronze Age and Late Antiquity, in which market requirements and an economic model with a higher degree of integration increasingly influenced husbandry strategies. These processes are reflected in changes in land use and forms of territorial occupation, although along different rhythms and trajectories.

Entre los yacimientos de las islas Baleares relativos a la presencia del ejército romano destaca el caso de Ses Salines. Conocido desde los años 80 del siglo XX, la información disponible de este yacimiento urbano, fruto de hallazgos casuales, era demasiado débil para hacer una interpretación fiable. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los datos procedentes de trabajos realizados desde 2014, principalmente de la excavación del foso defensivo y de la revisión planimétrica del mismo. Para ello, entre otros métodos, se han utilizado dataciones ceramológicas y por C14 de huesos de fauna. Entre los resultados destaca su datación en 120-100 a. C., hecho que permite relacionarlo con la conquista romana del 123 a. C., así como su identificación como fuerte militar o castellum que podría haber alojado a una cohorte en el sur de la isla.
