Abstract
Desde 1984 hasta la actualidad se han venido desarrollando excavaciones arqueológicas continuadas en el yacimiento oretano y medieval de Calatrava la Vieja (Ciudad Real), un cerro amesetado situado junto al Guadiana, de unas 6 ha de extensión y desde el que se tiene un buen control visual de los terrenos circundantes así como del propio río. Una de las aportaciones más importantes de estas ha sido la constatación de que con anterioridad a la ocupación islámica ya fue un destacado oppidum oretano.
