Abstract
Entre los años 2012 y 2013 se han realizado una serie de intervenciones arqueológicas en el polígono 40, Los Altos de la Navata (antigua La China), de Galapagar con motivo de la Modificación puntual de las Normas Subsidiarias vigentes, gracias a las cuales se han podido localizar los restos de la fábrica de cerámica La China consistentes en una serie de muros asociados a dos estructuras. La estructura oeste, con una superficie de 263 m2 se encuentra compartimentada dando como resultado una planta compleja que sugiere una organización del trabajo bien definida.
La estructura Este tiene un área de 500 m2 y se trata de un gran patio donde se han localizado tres grandes piedras graníticas que debieron ser la parte durmiente de molinos y pilas. Tras el cierre y abandono de la fábrica se da un segundo momento de ocupación, consistente en la clausura de vanos, donde el antiguo cuerpo oeste se pudo dedicar a huertas y plantación de frutales mientras que el cuerpo Este se pudo emplear como cercado para el ganado.
Los materiales arqueológicos localizados se corresponden con restos constructivos y cerámicas esmaltadas (tarros y una tapadera sin decorar) así como platos y orzas en pasta “bizcocho”.
Navata (formerly La China), in Galapagar, on the occassion of punctual modification of the current planning regulations. Remains of the pottery factory La China consisting of two walls associated with two structures. have been identified on this location. The Western structure, 263 m2 surface, is compartmentalized, giving rise to a complex floor which suggests a well-defined work organization. The Eastern structure, 500 m2 surface, consists of a large yard where three substantial granite boulders have been identified. These were probably querns and sink. The factory was again occupied after it had been closed and abandoned. The openings were closed during this second occupation. The old Western part could then have been used to fruit-tree plantation, whereas the Eastern side was probably used as an enclosure for the cattle. The retrieved archaeological finds consist of construction remains and glazed pottery (pots and an undecorated lid), as well as biscuit plates and earthenware jars.
