La aparición de los primeros centros fortificados en la Meseta Norte durante la Primera Edad del Hierro es un proceso cuya comprensión se encuentra aún en sus inicios. No obstante, los resultados de las investigaciones arqueológicas más recientes proporcionan una imagen considerablemente mejorada sobre el desarrollo de estos sitios autosuficientes, algunos de los cuales se aglomeraron formando grupos mayores y más complejos al final del período. La configuración de asentamientos y comunidades, la interpretación sociológica de sus correspondientes necrópolis y los patrones regionales de poblamiento nos acercan a la organización social de las gentes que habitaron la Meseta en aquel período.
The appearance of the first fortified settlements in the Northern Plateau (Spain) during the Early Iron Age is a process whose understanding is still far from resolved. We know when some small settlements were founded, but the evolution of these communities into other ones that were somewhat larger and more complex is not clear. However, the results of the latest archaeological research provide significantly improved image on the development of these sites, some of which were nucleated into larger and more complex groups at the end of this period. The configuration of settlements and communities, the sociological interpretation of their cemeteries and the regional settlement patterns reveal the social organisation of the people who inhabited the plateau in that period.
