A new approach to the Early Iron Age Shell Midden odf El Ostrero (Camargo, Cantabria, Spain)

Abstract

[EN]The material culture recorded at El Ostrero archaeological site (Maliaño, Cantabria) is reviewed here. Our results show that the site was occupied in two different chronological periods; the earliest in the Iron Age and the other later occupation during the Roman Age. Most of the material culture may be dated between the 8th and 4th centuries BC, according to a radiocarbon date and the characteristics of the pottery assemblage
