Ocupación del territorio entre los siglos V. a.C.-III d.C. en las altiplanicies lorquinas (Lorca, Murcia)

Abstract

This paper analyzes the development of the Iberian and Roman settlement between the 5th BC-3rd AD centuries in the South-east of the Iberian Peninsula, and in particular in the area of Coy, Avilés and Doña Inés in Lorca (Murcia, Spain). The area is known for decades because of the important sites located there, however there are not specific specific and diachronic studies about the occupation during the Iberian period and its transformation with the Roman presence in the South-east and in Carthago Nova. This area is particularly interesting because of the archaeological findings, the large number of sites located here and its key position between Andalusia, Lorca and the North-west of Murcia. Through the analysis of the Iberian and Roman sites and the material data we accomplish a first diachronic study of settlement in the area during these centuries.
