With an extension of more than 20 ha, the large moat enclosure of Camino de las Yeseras is a strategic and long-occupied site located in the centre of the peninsula. Thanks to the close collaboration between management archaeology and the Camino de las Yeseras research team of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, it has been possible to undertake interdisciplinary studies of pits, huts and funerary spaces.
Some 10,000 structures documented over almost two thousand years of prehistoric occupation make up a complex landscape of the past. The treatment of ancestors and the management of the domestic and wild animal world stand out, forming a sophisticated system of beliefs of societies in which their rituals in time and space form surprising records.
