Abstract
Recent archaeological work carried out along the Guadiana river basin has led to the discovery of San Blas, a prehistoric settlement dated in the third millennium BC. According to the results of the rescue excavations undertaken, this settlement was strongly fortified in its western half and had a complex defensive system to protect its main access. Inside the main defensive perimeter appears a second enclosure, circular in plan and surrounded by a wall and a large ditch, which seems to correspond to an area of special significance. Other identified structures include dwellings corresponding to various chronological phases and built with different construction techniques, as well as silos and other domestic structures. The site is also surrounded by a necropolis of funerary structures covered by mounds; the excavation of one of this monuments confirmed it as a tholos type tomb.
