Cancho Roano is an archaeological site in Zalamea de la Serena, Badajoz, Spain, located in a small valley along the Cagancha stream [1]. It is the best preserved Tartessian site, dating to at least the sixth century BC, with origins possibly in the late seventh century BCE [1][2]. The complex was expanded and modified in later centuries, reflecting its long occupation [1].
