摘要：In this article, we try to facilitate the solution of archaeological problems concerning the
identification of semi-subterranean houses and propose some key points to distinguish them
from other types of pits. In first place, we present a brief history of the concept of dwellingpit.
In second place, we describe the main data currently known about houses in pits from
archaeology, ethnography and experimental archaeology. Finally, some reflections are made on
the characteristic properties of these issues in order to improve our ability to recognise them
archaeologically.
