Description
Summary:<p>The work focuses on Bell Beakers remains and their archaeological context discovered in the Cerro del Castillo from Burgos. The data comes from the excavation carried out in the mid-80s by José Luis Uríbarri and his team. At that moment they documented Bell-beaker evidence in the oldest layer of a mainly protohistoric sequence (level XII). Their presence led to interpret this layer as a Bell-Beaker "ocupation level". A review of archaeological record showed discrepancies from the considerations expressed by the excavation team. In addition, this archaeological record has been commonly used by researchers in their proposals. For this reason, it was necessary to update the archaeological data and consequently formulate a new proposal on the nature of the "occupation" in the Cerro del Castillo from Burgos.</p>
