Los trabajos sobre demografía protohistórica suelen estimar el número de habitantes por asentamiento a partir de dos métodos básicos: el primero basado en el cálculo del espacio útil total dedicado a habitación; el segundo a partir del número de casas. El primer método implica una asignación igualitaria de espacio entre los habitantes, mientras el segundo suele atribuir un número fi jo de personas por casa, lo que implica mayor superfi cie por habitante cuanto mayor es la casa. Ambos métodos son igualmente viables para un cálculo global de la población del asentamiento, pero ninguno de ellos es totalmente satisfactorio, ya que no tienen en cuenta la posibilidad de una repartición del espacio de forma desigual o de la coexistencia de grupos domésticos de distintos tamaños en un mismo asentamiento. A partir de la reflexión crítica sobre estos métodos, proponemos utilizar el análisis del uso del espacio doméstico como indicador social y como base para plantear hipótesis sobre la composición de la estructura familiar en la protohistoria así como los cambios que ésta sufre a lo largo del tiempo. Research about protohistoric demography estimates the population in a settlement through two main methods: one of them is based in the calculation of the dwelling space; the other is based in the number of houses. The first method implies an egalitarian distribution of space among the inhabitants of a settlement; the second one attributes a constant number of people per house, which means a major surface per person in the bigger houses. Both methods are feasible, but none of them is completely satisfactory, as they don’t take into account the possibility of an unequal distribution of space or the coexistence of households of different size in the same settlement. From a critical reflection on these methods, I propose the analyse of the use of domestic space as a social indicator, and as a basis to hypothesise about the composition of family structure in the protohistory as well as the changes it suffers through time.
