SummaryThe following paper presents an analysis of the term ‘oppidum’, discussing its value for understanding social complexity in Iron Age Europe. Throughout this paper, the most relevant debates regarding the oppida and their value are synthesized from a semiotic point of view. Key features such as urban planning, social hierarchies and political centralization are analysed to frame research in terms of Iron Age mentalities and cultural diversity. Accordingly, the ‘oppidum’ is assessed as a conceptual tool, weighing its appropriateness as a wide‐ranging concept in the European Iron Age. Several criteria, such as urban planning, the role of memory or religion, and the creation of large public and assembly places, among others, are explored as proxies of social legitimation. These key aspects aim to define some traits to set the oppidum as a useful and organic archaeological term without undermining cultural specificities.

“…Iron Age communities in Northwestern Iberia inhabited hillforts, known as castros, which were monumentalized by massive stone walls and impressive ditches, with unenclosed, lowland settlements virtually unknown. While hillforts were the only settlements in parts of the region, Southern Galicia and Northern Portugal saw the emergence of larger fortified sites, known as oppida after the 2nd century bc (Prieto-Martínez et al, 2017). This period has thus traditionally been defined by the term "Castro culture" which depicts a static image of pre-Roman societies from a culture-history perspective (Ayán-Vila, 2015;Fernández-Posse, 1998;Marín-Suárez, 2011b).…”

“…Las investigaciones han probado la frecuentación del lugar desde la primera Edad del Hierro (siglos VII-IV a.C.) si bien la implantación urbana del oppidum no se configura con la disposición descrita hasta finales del siglo II a.C.. Tras la conquista se advierten reformas de entidad en los espacios domésticos, la renovación y consolidación de una estructura urbana, edificada ahora bajo inequívoca influencia romana. El abandono del poblado se produjo hacia finales del siglo III o ya durante el IV d.C. (Prieto et al 2017).…”

Entre el repertorio de materiales líticos recuperados en los castros del noroeste peninsular se identifican nueve piezas dadas a conocer por sus descubridores o por los museos donde se exponen como piedras de toque, herramientas singulares vinculadas con la manipulación y transformación de metales preciosos aparecidas en horizontes de la Edad del Hierro o de temprana implantación romana. En este trabajo se describen las piezas conocidas así como sus contextos de procedencia.
