Abstract

In 2020, the archaeological intervention campaign carried out in the La Cerrosa-Lagaña cave (Suarías, Peñamellera Baja, Asturias) uncovered the existence of a panoply whose study places it, chronologically, between the Second Iron Age and the beginning of Romanisation. The unpublished study of the pieces that comprise it includes their description and interpretation thanks to the comparison with similar objects found in sites of the same chronocultural and territorial context, especially in caves. This analysis also includes their relationship with an archaeological context characterised by the presence of fauna and human remains, including those from earlier chronologies.
