Excavación arqueológica en el castillo de Valtierra. Campaña 2021 [Archaeological excavation in the castle of Valtierra. Campaign 2021]

Abstract

The campaign carried out consisted of expanding the borehole (n.º 4) excavated in previous years. The intervention has made it possible to verify the presence of an Islamic urbanism in the central area of the head. This is probably due to a change in the use of the habitat from the Christian conquest, at which time there would be a population shift towards the lower areas of the hill. In the upper area, a leveling and flattening of buildings would be undertaken to configure a defensive enclosure, with a parade ground and outbuildings, surrounded by a wall.
