Una aproximación a la planimetría del Castro de los Riscos de Villavieja

(Casas del Castañar, Cáceres)

Abstract

This investigation entails a planimetry review of the Riscos de Villavieja Iron Age settlement (Casas del
Castañar, Cáceres, Spain). As starting point, we have taken into account the previous works published during the middle
of the 20^th century, fundamentally the work that Sayans Castaños published in 1957.
Based on it, remote sensing techniques have been applied and, consequently, its physiognomy has been reformulated.
LiDAR has been the most used technique. Once the results obtained were verified in the field, it has been possible to
associate this settlement with other Iron Age settlements located in the Central System.
