Resumen
A geoarchaeological research is being carried out in a Roman Site interpreted as a militar camp from 26-22 BC. Methodology involves geomorphological mapping, GIS use, detailed geological studies and palinological and radiometric analyses. Landscape features result mainly from fluvial and gravity action, with the outstanding presence of a probable ancientlandslide covered by small bogs in which the Roman Camp was partially installed. A hand drill in a bog located at 1665m altitude gave a core of 67,3 cm deep. The palynological research of the core allowed the inference of an open landscape with temperate climatic conditions, and a possible human influence. The radiometric data of the core bottom gave a result of 6680 ± 60 BP (5700-5500 cal BC)suggesting that bog installation is older than Roman occupation. However, the human influence in the landscape induces us to consider that these preliminary data must be checked with further research.
