Pintia, Archaeological site in Peñafiel, Spain
The Pintia archaeological complex spans across three areas: Las Quintanas city, Las Ruedas necropolis, and Carralaceña potter's district near Pesquera de Duero.
The Vaccaei, a Celtic society, established Pintia around 400 BCE as one of their principal settlements until Roman forces conquered and destroyed the city.
Archaeological excavations at Las Ruedas necropolis reveal burial practices of the Vaccaei people through discovered weapons, ceramics, and personal belongings.
The University of Valladolid manages summer archaeological programs where participants learn excavation techniques and artifact preservation methods at the site.
The Carralaceña district contains one of the largest ancient pottery kilns discovered in Europe, indicating substantial ceramic production activities.
