Barranc de Gàfols

The Barranc de Gàfols, also referred as Pomeralet, is an archaeological site in Ginestar, Catalonia [1]. It is one of the most important First Iron Age sites in Catalonia, since it presents a continuous occupation since the Last Bronze Age [1]. The site is located 1 km south of Ginestar, in the west bank of the river Ebro [1]. The site was first occupied during the Late Bronze Age, when cottages were established [1]. During the First Iron Age, relatively complex rectangular and trapezoid buildings were planned, with the creation of at least 17 households and 3 streets [1]. Some of these buildings correspond to private households, since a fireplace has been found in each one of the structures, except one which has been identified as a common building devoted to agricultural activities, due to the presence of stone mills [1]. In 1990, excavation works began in Gàfols and continued until 1998 [1].
