[EN] In this report, we present the results of the archaeological excavations and survey undertaken at the concentration camp of Castuera (Badajoz, Spain) in September 2010. The camp was established immediately after the end of the Spanish Civil War, in April 1939, and it remained in operation for around a year. It is one of the few camps established ex novo by the Franco regime (instead of reusing previous structures). During the 2010 field season, test pits were conducted in the latrines and the perimeter ditches, which provided relevant data on the conditions of life in the camp and on its structure and organization. Much older remains were also discovered during the survey, belonging to the Iron Age and the Germanic period (6th-7th c. AD).
[ES] este informe damos a conocer los resultados de las excavaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en el campo de concentración de Castuera (Badajoz) en septiembre de 2010. El campo fue establecido nada más acabar la guerra, en abril de 1939, y estuvo en activo durante un año. Es uno de los pocos campos creados de nueva planta por el régimen franquista (en vez de reutilizar estructuras anteriores). Durante la campaña de 2010, se realizaron sondeos en las letrinas y las zanjas perimetrales, los cuales ofrecieron datos significativos sobre las condiciones de vida en el campo y sobre su estructura y organización. Durante la prospección también salieron a la luz restos mucho más antiguos, pertenecientes a la Edad del Hierro y el período visigodo.
