摘要：This article presents the latest results of the excavations at the site of Las Vegas in Huecas (Toledo). The site is located in an open area, near a stream and at the foot of the Valle de las Higueras necropolis. It is buried by a considerable colluvial deposition and was detected by geophysical survey. The site lacks structures and is made up of a single archaeological layer: it is a secondary deposit, containing Bell Beaker pottery and metal. A 14C sample has dated it to the second half of the 3rd millennium BC. Ceramics are the most abundant remain from this deposit. Macroscopic and X-ray Fluorescence (FRX) analysis of the ceramics indicates a local production, the fast formation of this deposit, and its long-term exposure on the surface. We suggest that it was formed by cleaning and maintenance activities carried out in a nearby occupational area. We suggest that settlement occurred in the valley bottom, with occupations whose ceramic productions differ from the ones found in funerary contexts.
