| Summary: | The archaeological intervention conducted at Las Gobas (Laño, County of Treviño, Spain) is part of a line of research led by the Building Archaeology Research Group (UPV-EHU) aimed at studying the configuration of the rural habitat in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The results achieved have allowed the documentation of a rich stratigraphic sequence that starts between the seventh and eigth centuries A.D. and preserves historical information of the first order. Broadly speaking, we can say that the seventh century A.D. saw the first cave spaces being opened up, later followed by some independent buildings set on a slope near the earlier settlements. Towards the ninth century, the space was subject to a profound reorganisation, during which the cave complex was abandoned as a dwelling place and recovered as a burial area. This funerary space seems to have remained active until the eleventh century, but archaeological investigation has not detected any other activity until the sixteenth century, when the site was reoccupied, this time for agricultural use, in a widespread process involving bringing the valley sides under the plough. La intervención arqueológica efectuada en Las Gobas (Laño, Condado de Treviño) se enmarca en una línea de investigación desarrollada por el Grupo de Investigación en Arqueología de la Arquitectura (UPV-EHU) que tiene por objeto el estudio de la configuración del hábitat rural en época tardoantigua y altomedieval. Los resultados alcanzados han permitido documentar una rica secuencia estratigráfica que, iniciada a caballo entre los siglos VII y VIII d.C., conserva una información histórica de primer orden. A grandes rasgos, podemos afirmar que a lo largo del siglo VII d.C. se abren ya las primeras cavidades rupestres, a las que sucederán en el tiempo algunas edificaciones exentas construidas contra ladera a los pies de las anteriores. Hacia el siglo IX, el espacio sufrirá una profunda reorganización, al abandonarse el complejo rupestre como lugar de habitación y reocuparse ... |
