espanolEl objetivo de este estudio es dar a conocer los resultados de la excavacion arqueologica del castillo de Curiel en lo relativo a analisis de las estructuras y los niveles relacionados con la produccion ferrica. Para ello, analizaremos todos los restos materiales de la cadena operativa del trabajo del hierro, correspondientes a areas de trabajo y estructuras, desechos de produccion y objetos elaborados. Estos hallazgos, atestiguan la transformacion de hierro que tuvo lugar dentro del Castillo en sus dos primeras fases de ocupacion, entre los siglos IX-XII, momento de conformacion del recinto fortificado y de su actividad constructiva mas intensa. Todos los datos nos indican una actividad enfocada al autoabastecimiento, que constaria de un pequeno taller de forja especializado, ubicado dentro del propio espacio amurallado, donde se elaborarian y/o repararian los objetos de uso comun de los habitantes del castillo (material belico-cinegetico, de caballeria, objetos domesticos, artesanales, etc.). EnglishThe main purpose of this study is to present the results of the archaeological excavation of the Curiel’s castle, regarding analysis of structures and levels associated with the production of iron. We will analyze all the material remains of the operative chain of ironworking corresponding to areas of work and structures, waste and semi-finished products, and manufactured objects. These findings evidence the transformation of the iron in the castle during the first two phases of occupation, between the 9th and the 12th century A.D., when the fortified enclosure was erected and its most intense construction activity took place. The archaeological record found inside the walled space indicates an activity focused on self-sufficiency, which consist of a small blacksmithing’s workshop for elaborating or repairing the objects used by the settlers of the castle, such as military and hunting arrow heads, cavalry attachments, domestics objets or artisan tools.
