Marañosa entre los años 2015 y 2016, se pretende dar a conocer una parte de los
materiales hallados, en este caso un interesante conjunto de vidrios. La tipología de estos
y las importaciones halladas, nos aportan una cronología que comprende los siglos V, VI
d.C. y comienzos del s. VII d.C. Poner estos materiales en relación con otros contextos
similares en la región puede ayudarnos a establecer posibles relaciones entre
asentamientos en una época tan interesante como poco conocida como es la
Tardoantigüedad. El conjunto está formado en su mayoría por piezas que formarían parte
de la vajilla de mesa (cuencos y escudillas), además de otros elementos.

The defensive character of its location, surrounded by abrupt and deep ravines, is reinforced by a linear wall at its northern end. It lacks towers, and forcess access to the interior by the edge of the cliff, from the North. The enclosured area extends about 10 hectares.
Material evidence from this site provides enough elements to propose that it was a rural central place, in the sense expressed by Loveluck (2009: 145), that is, a focal point for consumption. Elites at this site are engaged in local and supralocal networks, as suggested by the variety and quality of imported goods: glass vessels, fine Mediterranean pottery, coins, lava quernstones. Certain elements, such as large ashlars, seem to indicate the presence of prestige buildings.
The occupational sequence still denotes questions that topsoil fieldwork analyses cannot solve in much detail. Material evidence from two different historical moments (5th to 7th and 10th to 12th AD) have been recognized in addition to scattered remains of a Late Iron Age phase. Nonetheless, the sequence does not seem continuous, but separated by hiatus of absence of activity.
The archaeological record from la Marañosa raises different questions on the historiographical debates with regards to this kind of early medieval hill-forts. The most significant may be (1) the discontinuities in the occupational sequences, (2) the links with the previous (late Roman) rural settlement in the area and with the subsequent network of villages, (3) why did people change their place of residence, and (4) what did that displacements imply in the social, economic and ideological spheres.
