The site of Barranc de Gàfols (La Ribera d'Ebre) is an excellent example of what villages were like at the end of the Bronze Age. Barranc de Gàfols was built alongside a river and was inhabited throughout the 7th century BC. It has a number of streets that cross at a right angle. The houses share the same exterior wall and are separated by party walls. Each house is long and narrow, measuring barely 2 m wide by 8 m long. The base of the wall is made of stone, while the rest of the wall is made of adobe. The virtually flat roof was built of reeds and mud supported on wooden beams. The interior walls are roughcast and decorated with ochre paint. Pottery vessels and containers were stored inside the houses.
