Abstract:

This article focuses on the rural organisation and the settlement pattern of the Iberian Iron Age city
of Edeta. Ongoing research into its macro-spatial organisation has revealed the existence of different
functions and internal features within the settlements and their relation to a wider and more integrated
space: the territory. Based on excavation and survey data, we present new questions and analytical
categories in order to approach issues related to territory formation and the emergence of socio-economic
complexity in the Iron Age societies of ancient eastern Iberia.
