Fieldwork carried out in 2010 and 2011 at the Iberian oppidum of La Bastida de les Alcusses revealed the existence, underneath the floor of the main gate, of a layer with abundant wood-charcoal and metal objects. Both the typology of the objects, their treatment and their stratigraphic-spatial situation suggest that this is a ritual deposition related to the re-foundation of the main enclosure of the site.
Among the timber remains two species have been identified (Aleppo pine and holm oak) and they might be interpreted as lumber pieces of a previous gate that were consciously burnt with iron weapons, rivets and nails.
