Abstract
The Iron Age studies in the upper Guadalquivir have always been an important model used to ascertain the idiosyncrasy of the Iberian culture. In fact, most of the interpretations that allow us to conceive its social, political and economic organization come from the archaeological investigations carried out in this geographical area. However, there is still a long way to go. The in-depth analysis of the territory framed between the rivers Rumblar and Guadiel, two tributaries of the Guadalquivir, has made it possible to resume old issues and propose changes in the approach to the population model developed in this area and concepts such as oppidum, turris or comunnication roads.
This paper presents all these new data and outlines the construction of a different Iberian landscape from which, exclusively, small evidence is preserved.
