Cabezo Redondo, Bronze Age archaeological site in Villena, Spain.
The excavation site stretches across a hilltop location, featuring remains of ancient dwellings with red and white plastered walls connected by narrow streets.
The settlement flourished between 1500 and 1100 BCE, with initial investigations by Juan Vilanova i Piera in 1870 and systematic studies starting in 1959.
The discovery of bronze tools, gold ornaments, and burial practices beneath houses reveals advanced technological and social development of the ancient community.
The University of Alicante conducts annual excavation programs at the site, allowing researchers to uncover new information about this prehistoric settlement.
A complete Bronze Age loom with 48 weights was discovered in 2008, providing direct evidence of textile manufacturing techniques from this period.
