La campiña de Córdoba entre el IV y el I milenio ANE. Apuntes sobre la ocupación prehistórica del yacimiento de Torreparedones (Baena- Castro del Río, Córdoba). El sondeo 3, al norte del foro

ABSTRACT This work is a synthesis of the history of the earliest phases of Torreparedones history which expand from the beginning of first documented occupation, towards the end of the fourth millennium BC, until development of the turdetani oppidum. Therefore we present the results obtained from the trial pit 3, carried out in the central area of settlement during the summer of 2012. These are compared to the sequences obtained during excavations performed between 1987 and 1992 in other areas of this settlement, inhabited although with some interruptions, for over five thousand years. KEY WORDS: Copper Age, Late Bronze Age, Cordovan Campiña.
