"The archaeological investigation is particularly important as a painted ceramic fragment depicting a wolf was found here. It is the only representation of a wolf on Iberian pottery ever discovered in the region."
"The Corral del Castell site was built around 2,400 years ago on a hilltop parallel to the coastline about 35 feet above sea level. It was occupied in two phases: the exclusively Iberian phase of the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C., and the Romano-Iberian phase of the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C."
"Archaeological materials recovered at the site are primarily utilitarian ceramics like amphorae for transport of goods and pithoi for storage. In addition to Iberian ceramics, there are examples imported from Greece, Italy and Carthaginian territories, attesting to the commercial activity that took place along the coast."
The Corral del Castell site in Cunit, Spain, is being excavated after being previously destroyed by urban development. A painted ceramic fragment of a wolf, the only one found in Iberian pottery, highlights the site's significance. The site dates back 2,400 years and was occupied during two phases: the Iberian phase and the Romano-Iberian phase. Archaeological materials include utilitarian ceramics and imports from Greece, Italy, and Carthage, indicating commercial activity. The remains suggest it was a collection of storage structures rather than an urban center.
