El yacimiento de “Camino de las Yeseras”. Una aproximación sedimentológica al estudio de algunas estructuras singulares: los fosos

This article contains a progress report on the sedimentological studies on ditched enclosures 4 and 6 from the Chalcolithic site of 'Camino de Las Yeseras’ (Madrid, Spain). Due to the natural features on which the site stands, and using different analyses (particle size, texture, x-ray diffraction, and other physico-chemical studies), we were able to differentiate natural fillings from those anthropogenic in origin and, at the same time, establish theevolution of these structures’ infilling. In this contribution we want to emphasize that the use of sedimentological techniques is essential when interpreting the use and clogging dynamics within the boundaries of ditched enclosures.
