Arquitectura defensiva en el Castro de Castromaior (Lugo). Análisis de las técnicas constructivas en el acceso al recinto central del poblado

Abstract

The analysis of the building techniques of the pre-Roman fort of Castromaior (Lugo) is here presented. The archaeological methodology is employed from an analytical point of view by means of the systematic archaeological excavation and in order to obtain a hypothetical reconstruction of one of the access to the village. Stratigraphical analysis and excavation have together revealed enough results to identify different building phases. After a brief description of the site, the results are analysed archaeologically, focusing the attention on the architecture belonging to the demarcation structures. Once analysed the results, a reconstruction of the access area is proposed. This brief work offers a new vision of the pre-Roman forts in the northwestern area of the Iberian Peninsula based on the analysis of the architecture of demarcation.
