The Iron Age ritual deposit of Cueva del Aspio (Ruesga, Cantabria)

In this paper we present the study of the Iron Age deposit of Cueva del Aspio (Ruesga). In this we analyze the archaeological records and the information from the campaign of 1994 and the archaeological interventions that we developed between 2013 and 2018. Thanks to this, it has been possible to document a cult space dated between the 2nd-1st centuries BC in which were offered archaeological objects that represent the main socioeconomic activities of the society of the moment (agriculture, textile activity, pottery, iron and bronze metallurgy, livestock, warfare, etc.) and among which there is evidence of the practice of an act of commensality or ritual banquet.
