The Muslim expansion in the Mediterranean basin was one the most relevant and rapid cultural changes in human history. This expansion reached the Iberian Peninsula with the replacement of the Visigothic Kingdom by the Muslim Umayyad Caliphate and the Muslim Emirate of Córdoba during the 8th century CE. In this study we made a compilation of western...

ANALYSING MONETARY CIRCULATION in the Visigothic period on the central Iberian Peninsula has traditionally drawn on physical data, such as the gradual decline in weight of the tremisses, their lower gold assay, and the apparent reduction of money in circulation. Such changes are argued to signal a major crisis in the Visigothic state. In recent yea...

THERE IS A LACK OF INDIVIDUAL AND OVERARCHING STUDIES of defensive systems after the Roman collapse in the West, as well as of urban defences in Hispania during the Visigothic period. A key site for questioning the latter is the walled royal Visigothic foundation of Reccopolis. The first excavations on Reccopolis’ circuit wall began in the 1980s, a...

p class="VARAbstract">The use of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has revolutionised pre-Hispanic archaeology in large tracts of Central America (Canuto et. al. 2018; Fisher et al. 2016; Garrison et al. 2019; Chase & Weishampel, 2016). This contribution is particularly significant in areas in which jungles and a complex orography had...

of Reccopolis (578), knowledge of the domestic spaces, their organisation and evolution show a complex panorama, which is limited so far to the southern sector of the excavated area. The stratigraphic sequence shows that the first model of domestic occupation was linked to intense planning, which involved the occupation of the interior spaces of la...

Ecuador is a key area in South America when it comes to understanding the economic, social and archaeological aspects of pre-Hispanic cultures in the northwestern region of the Andes. Among the most complex societies to have inhabited this territory is the so-called Manteño culture (AD ∼800–1530), which spanned across most of Ecuador’s central Paci...

Historical cartography continues to be an essential resource in developing strategies for the analysis of anthropised landscapes. In recent years, the digitisation and conversion of a large number of pre-20th-century maps to modern geographic coordinate systems and data hierarchisation in GIS-integrated databases have opened up huge possibilities....
Conference Paper
Full-text available
In this work we present three magnetic surveys in an intensively exploited agricultural area from Tuscania (Lazio region, Italy) whose soils are derived from volcanic rocks with different degrees of reworking, from weathering of the in situ rocks to sedimentary transport forming extensive piedmont deposits. Magnetic surveys were done with a GSM Ove...

El empleo de la tecnología LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) ha sido uno de los elementos más revolucionarios en la reinterpretación de la arqueología prehispánica en amplios sectores de Latinoamérica. Durante el año 2016, un amplio vuelo (147.78 km²) en el área central de la costa ecuatoriana, permitió ampliar progresivamente el conocimiento del...

A pesar de la importancia creciente a nivel mundial del turismo, únicamente a menor escala era de interés para las investigaciones científicas el tema del desarrollo sostenible (Ceballos-Lascuraín, 1998), lo cual es válido, en particular, para la investigación empírica y aplicable (Brenner, 1999). De acuerdo con la revisión de los estudios realizad...

Les manifestations de la politique de développement urbain adoptée par le royaume wisigoth de Tolède et par ses édiles sont bien attestées dans les cités à la fin du VIe siècle. L’établissement de nouveaux centres, comme ce fut le cas à Reccopolis, a entraîné une réorganisation de l’État qui a également concerné la production monétaire. La mise en...
