description The purpose of this study was the use of gamma spectrometry to characterize the archaeological site of Molina de Aragón, located in the province of Guadalajara in Spain. To do so, a set of samples with different historical influences have been selected. The samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry with HPGe detectors, and by X-ray fluorescence, to know their chemical composition. The statistical study of the activity concentration of radionuclides from the natural radioactive series, 40 K and 137 Cs, was carried out using box-and-whisker plots, cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Likewise, the in-situ effective dose rates and the ones determined from the activity concentrations obtained by gamma spectrometry were evaluated to verify sampling reproducibility. The results obtained made it possible to classify the areas of Jewish and Christian influence based on the relationships between 232 Th and 238 U series and the possible influence of the archaeological works carried out in the study area. The least altered areas could also be identified from the activity concentrations of 137 Cs and 210 Pb ex . Activity concentrations and effective dose rates were equivalent to the natural radioactive background of the Iberian Peninsula. PCA showed a correlation between Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 y ZrO 2 and the natural radioactive series of thorium and uranium.
