Rabassats Iberian Site

The Rabassats site, also known as the Bosc, is a small rural establishment focused on agriculture and cereal storage, typical of the Cessetània region. Dating from the late 4th century to the early 2nd century BC, it features two construction phases: the first with rock-cut structures and the second with a visible 400 m² building used for residential, storage, domestic, and artisanal purposes. The site also includes grain storage silos and a system of ponds for liquid decantation. By the 1st century BC to AD, the site was abandoned, and the body of an adult male (likely executed) was disposed of in one of the ponds, which had been partially filled.

The main building of Rabassats, dating from the 3rd century BC, is best preserved in its west wing, which features three large rooms arranged in a U-shape around a courtyard. The westernmost room was used for domestic activities like milling, meal preparation, and weaving. The central room served as a residential space with a large hearth, while the third room functioned as a pantry. The courtyard was likely used for cooking and other tasks requiring light.

Additional areas east of these rooms are poorly preserved and their functions are unclear. The building's exterior included grain storage silos and a system of cisterns or deposits for water. An adult male’s remains, possibly from an execution, were found in a central pond.

The site features restored areas with gravel, red mortar for the hearth, white gravel for the silos, and pebbles for the ponds, with a red line marking the boundary between original and restored sections. Excavations and preparations for public visits took place between 2013 and 2017 with support from various organizations, notably Josep Fusté.
