Aproximació a l'organització del territori de Kelin

Los Villares site (Caudete de las Fuentes, Valencia) it played the central-place functions of a wide region wich borders are still not completely known. The settlement pattern shows that most of the sites seem to be stablished close to the best soils areas in low heights. The more intensive occupation of the region begins at the IVth. century. For this period we have distinguished full time activities. A visibility control system is as well articulating this territory. It is based on the exitence of hillforts or sites with defensive structures allocated at the outkirts of the studied region. During the IInd. Century the dispersed settlement decreses. The sites are now more populated, there is a concentration phaenomena.
