Historical Occupation of Oppidum Íbero de Puente Tablas
Systematic excavations at the Oppidum Íbero de Puente Tablas site have revealed the site's occupation from the Late Bronze Age to the Islamic period. An intermediate abandonment was noted around the mid-4th century BC, likely due to the population's shift from Puente Tablas to the Cerro de Santa Catalina. This period coincides with a significant drop in cereal pollen in the occupation levels, indicating a clear abandonment of the exploitation of the Guadalbullón's fertile lands.
