Engagement strategies for Late Iron Age oppida in North-Central Spain

Late Iron Age oppida represent an excellent example of heritage sites which, by their very nature, have to be integrated into working landscapes to ensure their sustainability. This paper focuses on a purposely-selected experience in Ambles valley (Avila) and the oppidum of Pintia (Valladolid). With ongoing archaeological research, represent both the variety of the Late Prehistory phenomenon at Central Spain and the varied ways in which these sites and landscapes are researched, understood and managed today.
