Faunal remains and materials of the C9 silo of Can Feu (2nd century BC) are analyzed. The archaeozoological study is carried out with the purpose of interpreting the function of this structure, within the set of other two very close and chronologically coeval. The C15 presented a very similar faunisticset, while the C17 contains a human skull. The content of the structures lead us to propose the hypothesis of being in an area with ceremonial activity related to the cult of soil fertility.
