Abstract
The systematic study of earth-based constructive remains from the Bronze Age site of Peñalosa (Baños de la Encina, Jaén), by optical microscopy techniques, has resulted in a large body of data concerning the constructive forms and techniques employed in an Argaric community of the Upper Guadalquivir. Approached from a Soil Micromorphology perspective, analysis of thin sections from samples of mud mortars has allowed us to make hypotheses about the relations of production that focused on building a village Argar four thousand years ago.
