The village of Ullastret, and especially its fortification, thanks to its state of preservation, has become one of the archetypical examples of Gothic military architecture in the Baix Empordà. This element of the region’s heritage has been cherished, studied and preserved since the mid‑twentieth century, with restoration carried out by Miquel Oliva. Since 2004, a series of preventive archaeological interventions have been carried out, which have made it possible to gather valuable information for understanding the urban development of the historic centre and the defensive system that surrounds it. This article focuses on the description of the fortified enclosure incorporating the new archaeological data we have and, at the same time, we take this opportunity to synthesize of the evolution of the town of Ullastret from the ninth century to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

L’excavacio del cementiri de Marenya, realitzada durant el 2009, permete estudiar un seguit d ’enterraments del segle XI posteriors a la construccio de l’esglesia romanica. Alguns d’aquests enterraments eren efectuats en sepulcres de lloses de forma antropomorfa , i d’altres en fosses simples. La neteja del lloc tambe va permetre observar l ’existencia d’un absis d’una edificacio anterior.

Dans ce travail nous présentons l’analyse de la micro-usure dentaire portée sur les moutons et les chèvres de deux sites de la région de l’Empordà (nord-est de la Péninsule Ibérique) à l’âge du Fer : le comptoir grec d’Empúries et la ville ibérique d’Ullastret. Cette étude a montré un apport élevé en graminées pour tous les caprinés des deux sites et deux phases chronologiques étudiées. Ce modèle pourrait être compatible avec le pâturage des troupeaux sur des aires humides. À un niveau plus spécifique, cette analyse a aussi révélé quelques divergences entre l’alimentation des troupeaux d’Ullastret et d’Empúries.

The cremation burial site of Puig de Serra (Serra de Daró) is part of the Iberian complex of Ullastret. The burials, dating from the mid-5th century to the last quarter of the 4th century BC, are found in varied states of preservation.
However, their study has contributed important information to our knowledge of the funerary practices and the material culture that accompanied them. Of particular interest in terms of pottery is the large amount of imported Attic ware, which was used both for cinerary urns and grave goods. A preference for certain types of Attic ware was attested. They are found in higher percentages than in neighbouring habitat sites. Among the decorative motifs on the red-figure vessels are repeated depictions of griffins, animals with a funerary significance in the Iberian culture.

L'ensemble ibérique d'Ullastret se trouve au nord-est de la péninsule Ibérique, à 15 km de distance de la colonie grecque d'Emporion. Depuis le Premier Âge du fer, vers la fin du VIIe s., et jusqu'à son abandon, au début du IIe s. av. n. è., des céramiques d'origine méditerranéenne, phéniciennes, grecques, puniques et italiques y parviennent, la plupart à partir du port emporitain. Elles ont été copiées et/ou réinterprétées dans les ateliers céramiques d'Ullastret, comme c'est le cas également dans d'autres établissements de la Catalogne ibérique. Parmi ces productions, il faut citer la céramique indikète à peinture blanche, caractéristique de cette région du monde ibérique et dont l'atelier principal serait situé à Ullastret, où semble aussi débuter la production de céramique de la côte catalane.

Numerous faunal remains have been identified in a large group of buildings located in the iberian oppidum of Puig de Sant Andreu. The formal and technical characteristics of these suggest that they ara remains of offerings presented on the occasion of the foundation or the transformation of the buildings. According to the current archeological data, this was not an isolated practice. Rather, in appears to be common among certain Iberian groups located in the North-East of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Gou-Batlle site is located a short distance to the north of the Puig de Sant Andreu Oppidum, in Ullastret
(Baix Empordà). The excavations carried out between 2003 and 2007 have uncovered rooms, pits and
silos, as well as a long irrigation ditch, dating from the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. The remains discovered
here most probably correspond to a peri-urban artisan quarter.

In recent years, various large buildings have been discovered in Ullastret, organised around patios. Zone 14 is one
of these buildings, in which three construction phases have been discovered, going from the second half of the
4th century BC to the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 2nd century BC. Important foundational rituals have been
found, as well as evidence of the accumulation of farming products and prestige goods, and also metalwork
activities. These buildings illustrate the existence of a powerful aristocratic class in Ullastret.

En aquest treball s’estudia la inscripció sobre un objecte de plom trobat a les excavacions del fossat del Puig de Sant Andreu, però sense un context arqueològic significatiu. Tot i que el seu contingut no és gaire clar, la disposició enfrontada de les línies apunta a algun tipus de text votiu, màgic o sagrat. La lectura més probable és babar • kikibi • isar / titibiaŕbibi, on els elements de la segona línia, titibi i aŕbibi, serien els que més plausiblement podrien interpretar-se com a antropònims, potser per analogia també kikibi, mentre que isar (is + ar) podria ser una nova forma d’un paradigma pronominal i babar, potser es podria posar en relació amb (ban)baibar que es troba entre els candidats a teònims. La presència de quatre doblets de signes baba, kiki, titi i bibi supera amb escreix el que per atzar li correspondria a un text tan curt i potser també tingués relació amb la funció cultual del text.

En este trabajo se estudia la inscripción sobre un objeto de plomo encontrado en las excavaciones del foso del Puig de Sant Andreu, pero sin un contexto arqueológico significativo. Aunque su contenido no es muy claro, la disposición enfrentada de las líneas apunta a algún tipo de texto votivo, mágico o sagrado. La lectura más probable es babar • kikibi • isar / titibiaŕbibi, donde los elementos de la segunda línea, titibi y aŕbibi, serían los que más plausiblemente podrían interpretarse como antropónimos, quizá por analogía también kikibi, mientras que isar (is + ar) podría ser una nueva forma de un paradigma pronominal y babar, tal vez se podría poner en relación con (ban)baibar que se encuentra entre los candidatos a teónimos. La presencia de cuatro dobletes de signos baba, kiki, titi y bibi supera con creces lo que por azar le correspondería a un texto tan corto y quizás también tuviera relación con la función cultual del texto.

In this work we study the inscription on a lead object found in the excavations of the Puig de Sant Andreu trench, but without a significant archaeological context. Although its content is not very clear, the facing arrangement of the lines points to some kind of votive, magical or sacred text. The most likely reading is babar • kikibi • isar / titibiaŕbibi, where the elements of the second line, titibi and aŕbibi, would be the most plausibly could be interpreted as personal names, perhaps by analogy also kikibi, while isar (is + ar) could being a new form of a pronominal paradigm and babar, perhaps it could be put in relation with (ban)baibar that is among the candidates for theonyms. The presence of four doublets of signs baba, kiki, titi and bibi far exceeds what would correspond to a text so short and perhaps also related to the cult function of the text.
