Abstract

This paper presents the state of the art of underground structures that have been used for the storage of perishable foods throughout history around the world, their morphometry and the materials with whose they were built. In addition, the characteristics contributed by the soil for decrease the temperature inside these structures are reviewed. Subsequently, an analysis of the discoveries found in the investigation is carried out, in order to establish relationships between the variables that give structures the conditions necessary to store and conserve food for long periods of time. Finally, the results obtained show that the information provided by the underground structures analyzed is inconclusive, exposing the topics that are still unknown in the study of these underground spaces.
