摘要:A recent complex history was about to destroy the last remains of the small castro (fortification) of Forca, located in the centre of Asturias. The archaeological, almost forensic, intervention had private funding and allowed us to determine the characteristics and chronology of the site. The absence of habitation remains, supported by different geochemical analyses, ties in with the unfinished condition of the site and the thwarting of a plan to settle beside a crossing of natural routes that would acquire great importance from Roman times. Its early chronology and situation beside a tumulus cemetery renew expectations of a connection between them and there is evidence for the exploitation of the mid-altitude pastures and shallow soils in the woody environments of the Bronze Age in landscape.
