Do planalto ás terras baixas: novas achegas á ocupación da península do Barbanza dende a Prehistoria ata o Medievo

Abstract

Procédese á revisión dos traballos previos de prospección na serra do Barbanza, agora ampliados aos montes de Macenda e Bealo na procura de asentamentos gandeiros/pastorís. No curso deses traballos localizáronse, ademais, un interesante xacemento de cronoloxía calcolítica e un castro inédito. Asemade, dáse conta dos resultados das intervencións en dous xacementos: un de carácter gandeiro, que presenta un palimpsesto estrutural e cronolóxico (Río Barbanza); e outro, relacionado con sistemas de control territorial (Outeiro da Torre).

Pastoral Stone Enclosures as Biological Cultural Heritage: Galician and Cornish Examples of Community Conservation

“…Located in the proximity of the Barbança mountain range where similar structures have already been documented [38][39][40], the Frojám enclosure stands out for its large dimensions. The granite dry-stone walls (whose construction is UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2018) are at the top of the Gironha mountain (29T 515908 4733504, datum WGS84) at altitudes ranging between 450 and 500 m, and have two discernible sections ( Figure 2).…”

“…In Galicia, although agropastoral structures (e.g., enclosures, walls, and huts) have received little archaeological attention, recent finds in the Barbança mountain range [38][39][40], in the proximities of the Frojám site, have revealed not only their abundance but also their continued use over millennia. As in Cornwall, the spatial distribution of these structures is often conditioned by existing sources of fresh water and adequate orography [40]. Erected through dry stone gathered in the surroundings, enclosures often feature remains of huts or other types of shelters within their perimeter or built into the outer walls, built to the height of a person [39].…”
