This study presents the isotopic ratios, radiocarbon datings, and anthropological analyses of five (N = 5) Early Copper Age individuals from two archaeological sites (Arruzafa and Iglesia Antigua de Alcolea) of the Middle Guadalquivir Valley near the city of Córdoba (Spain). Four had been buried in the same grave, possibly in a single event or in a very short time lapse. The collagen residue analyses of the individuals offer δC values ranging between −20.08 and −18.4 and δN values between 8.57 and 11.15. The findings indicate that the infant and the elderly had, respectively, the richest and poorest animal protein diets, the first likely as a result of nursing. The combined study of these five individuals offers an interesting approach to a small segment of population of the farming communities occupying this territory at the beginning of the Copper Age (3200–3000 cal BC)., Consejería de Innovación y Empresa-Junta de Andalucía, Grant/Award Number: HUM-061658

La excavación arqueológica que se llevó a cabo en un solar emplazado en los terrenos de la Arruzafa, al norte de Córdoba, permitió documentar una secuencia estratigráfica muy dilatada en el tiempo. De las diversas fases de ocupación, nos detendremos en las estructuras adscritas a época romana, que se han interpretado como un asentamiento compuesto por varias dependencias destinadas a la producción de aceite. Este complejo oleícola estuvo en funcionamiento entre la primera mitad del s.I d.C. y finales del s.II d.C. The archeological excavation performed in a plot located in the surrounding area of Arruzafa, in the north of Córdoba, supplied documentary evidence of an extensive stratigraphic sequence. From all the diverse occupation stages, we will focus on the structures assigned to the Roman period, being this considered as a settlement composed of several rooms allocated to the production of olive oil. This architectural olive-oil complex operates between the first half of 1st century BC and late 2nd century AC.

El presente artículo tiene por objeto dar a conocer un edificio insertado en el tejido urbano del arrabal occidental de la Córdoba omeya, que por sus características estaría asociado con las labores comerciales del barrio. El estudio del parcelario ha permitido la restitución hipotética de su planta, reflexionar sobre las funciones que se desarrollarían en su interior y establecer su relación con el caserío que lo circunda. This article aims to disclose an building inserted into the urban network of the western suburb of the Umayyad Cordoba, which by its nature would be associated with the commercial activities in the suburb. The study of the plot has allowed the hypothetical return of its ground plan, reflecting on the functions to be developed within and establishing its relationship with the small village that surrounds it.
