Castellón Alto is an Argaric culture archaeological site located in Galera, Granada and dated between 1900 and 1600 BE during the Bronze Age [1]. The inhabited area was located on three natural terraces and the hillside [1]. The upper terrace is separated from the rest of the town by a perimeter wall, forming an acropolis area where the elites of the town lived with fundamental elements for survival such as the cistern or a water tank [1].
