Archeology of a battlefield: the forts of the Sant Corneli mountain

Abstract

The new techniques and methodologies of conflict archeology have made it possible to comprehensively document the remains of the battlefields without the need to extensively excavate the entire study area. This new field of research has been particularly prolific in the study of the war remains of the Spanish Civil War, although unfortunately both archeology and historiography continue to focus on those better-known battles. In this article, it is intended to show that thanks to a team of small dimensions it is possible to obtain a large volume of information on one of the war fronts considered by many as secondary, as is the case of Tremp, with one of its most outstanding positions, the mountain of Sant Corneli.
