Pigs, horses, sheeps and childs. New contributions to the ritual practices of the Vilar’s fortress (Arbeca, les Garrigues) Abstract: The present study includes the test results of the underground tanks dug out in Vilar’s fortress (Arbeca, les Garrigues). Aspects like the problems around its interpretation will be considered and, thanks to a study which integrates the arqueological data with that coming from the ancient sources, the ethnography and the antropology, a new interpretative approach will be given. The inherent complexity in the study of the animal role in the bosom of the human societies forces to go beyond the strictly economical scope and taking into account aspects like the collective imagination, their beliefs and the affective bonds resulting from the interaction between people and animals. In short, the question to be solved is that if all the tanks respond to the same motivation or request, and so, if it is fair to interpret them in the same way.

The existence of transhumance in Prehistory has been the subject of intense international debate. This discussion is not unrelated to the research carried out in the territories of inland Catalonia where several projects in recent years have focused on animal mobility. Although this subject of research is still in an early stage, this work attempts to offer an overview and update of the current state of research in this region. From the results of recent archaeological and archaeozoological analyses carried out at the Iberian Fortress of Els Vilars (Arbeca, Lleida), we describe the elements that must be considered when studying animal mobility in archaeological context. The study of this site also implied successively analysing different aspects such as herd management, the capacity to maintain livestock and food needs. The study also required an analysis of the available documentary sources and finally the limits inherent to this type of research.

Aquest article constitueix una síntesi de les principals novetats reeixides durant els darrers anys en tres punts de la fortalesa: el barri est, el pou-cisterna i la placeta descoberta en la zona oest del jaciment. S’analitzen les característiques de les cases durant la fase Vilars 0 (775-700 a.n.e) en el barri septentrional, les seves estructures domèstiques i els enterraments de perinatals apareguts; es presenta la troballa inèdita d’un obrador de pa amb cinc forns en una plaça en funcionament durant la fase Vilars I (700-550 a.n.e.) i es dóna a conèixer l’estat de la recerca postexcavatòria sobre el pou-cisterna i es remarca l’aparició de restes de peixos marins: Vilars III-IV (450-300 a.n.e.).

Aquest treball neix davant la necessitat d'omplir una part del buit existent en la plana occidental catalana sobre el període de l'ibèric antic (segles vi-v ane), a partir de l'estudi de la fortalesa dels Vilars (Arbeca, les Garrigues). La caracterització que es presenta en el treball comprèn l'evolució urbanística de l'assentament entre els períodes del primer ferro i l'ibèric antic, així com l'estudi dels elements ceràmics (a partir d'anàlisi estadística) apareguts en la fortalesa en aquest període. Mitjançant aquest estudi es pretén realitzar una aproximació a aquest moment de canvi en l'assentament, ple d'innovacions tecno-lògiques i canvis culturals, els quals duen implícit un flux d'idees entre altres pobles del Mediterrani i els pobladors autòctons, reflectit en l'arquitectura i els materials recuperats als Vilars. Paraules clau: primer ferro, ibèric antic, plana occidental cata-lana, fortalesa dels Vilars, urbanisme, ceràmica. This paper stems from the need to fill the hiatus of knowledge of Early Iberian period (6 th-5 th centuries BC) in the Western Cata-lonian Plain based on the study of the Fortress of Vilars (Arbeca, les Garrigues). The notions advanced are based on the study of the urban development of the settlement between the Early Iron Age and the Early Iberian period and the analysis of the pottery (from a statistical perspective) appearing in the fortress throughout this period. The aim is to understand this period of change marked by technological innovations and cultural transformations that imply a flow of ideas between the autochthonous residents and exogenous peoples of the Mediterranean and how the ideas are reflected in the architecture and the artefacts.
