Reexcavando sin destruir, cincuenta años después. Aplicación de nuevos planteamientos teóricos y metodologías a la villa romana de Bruñel (Quesada, Jaén). Arqueología y Territorio 12: 177-189

The present article introduces the reader to the rural roman world and it specifically resumes the investigation of one of the most significant sites of the Iberian Peninsula, known as the roman uilla of Bruñel (Quesada, Jaén). This entity constitutes a magnificent archeological ensemble of great historic value that has been forgotten with time´s passing. It is here where it has been possible to verify an Iberian presence that goes back to the fourth century B.C. and a later roman occupation that stretches on from the second century A.D. to the fourth century A.D. and that materializes into a different type of constructive unit, the uilla.
