Salud y enfermedad en Madīna Balaghí, frontera superior de al-Ándalus
Este estudio recoge los datos obtenidos a partir del análisis antropológico de 57 esqueletos procedentes de la maqbara del yacimiento arqueológico del Pla d’Almatà, correspondiente a la ciudad andalusí de Balaguer (Figura 1). El yacimiento está situado al norte de la actual ciudad de Balaguer, en la comarca de La Noguera (Lleida) y ocupa prácticamente toda la llanura que se conoce con el mismo nombre con una extensión de unas 27 ha (Figura 1). Se…
The Houses of al-Andalus
The architecture of houses in al-Andalus has long been the subject of various typological classifications and interpretations regarding its evolution. This article presents an in-depth analysis of the domestic structures excavated at 59 published archaeological sites, encompassing urban and rural settlements between the 8th and 14th centuries. Based on the internal layout of these dwellings, a classification of the main house types is proposed. T…
Re-Thinking the "Green Revolution" in the Mediterranean World - Corrigendum
Re-thinking the 'Green Revolution' in the Mediterranean world
From the seventh century AD, successive Islamic polities were established around the Mediterranean. Historians have linked these caliphates with the so-called 'Islamic Green Revolution'-the introduction of new crops and agricultural practices that transformed the economies of regions under Muslim rule. Increasingly, archaeological studies have problematised this largely text-based model of agrarian innovation, yet much of this research remains re…
Evidence of otitis media and mastoiditis in a Medieval Islamic skeleton from Spain and possible implications for ancient surgical treatment of the condition
Estudio antropológico de las alquerías de Benizahat y Zeneta (Vall d ́Uixó, Castellón). Una ventana a la vida rural andalusí
En época andalusí, la Vall d’Uixó (Castellón, España) se conformaba por una serie de alquerías que estuvieron habitadas por población islámica hasta el s. XVI. A través del análisis antropológico de 99 esqueletos procedentes de dos de estas alquerías, Benizahat y Zeneta, el presente estudio explora la posible existencia de diferencias en el estilo de vida de hombres y mujeres y un posible estrés ocupacional relacionado con la economía rural en es…
Hydraulic technology as means of Christian colonisation. Watermills and channels in the Lower Ebro (Catalonia)
In this study, evidence provided by written records generated after the conquest of Tortosa in 1148 and the results of archaeological survey have led to the identification of several farmland areas and their associated Andalusi settlements on both banks of the River Ebro, in the hinterland of Madīna Turtūsha. These field systems were formed by compact and discontinuous cultivation areas on the riverbanks. Drainage channels and wells with waterlif…
The Archaeology of the Peasantry in the Early Medieval Age. Reflections and proposals
The archaeology of the medieval peasantry in Spain and Europe has attracted renewed attention in recent decades. This article is an overview of the research carried out in the last 30 years into the peasantry and their cultivated areas in the early-medieval societies in the north of the Iberian Peninsula and al-Andalus. Special attention is paid to the interpretations archaeologists make of the archaeological record. Approaches from two distinct …
Arqueología funeraria andalusí en Cataluña y la provincia de Castellón
El presente trabajo ofrece una síntesis de los conocimientos arqueológicos e históricos sobre el poblamiento andalusí mediante un inventario de hallazgos funerarios en Cataluña, con la provincia de Castellón como referente de comparación. Se presentan nuevos datos relativos a hallazgos aún inéditos de los yacimientos de Plà de Almatà (Balaguer) y la Vall d’Uixó (Castellón). Cataluña formaba parte de la Frontera Superior de al-Andalus, por lo que …
Novelties and legacies in crops of the Islamic period in the northeast Iberian Peninsula
Original design, tribal management and modifications in medieval hydraulic systems in the Balearic Islands (Spain)
Case studies of hydraulic systems in al-Andalus prove them to be inextricably linked with specific forms of local clan procedure of water allocation. On the basis of the past and ongoing research on the irrigation systems of al-Andalus, especially in the Balearic Islands, amounting to just under 200 cases studied, it can be safely said that they were conceived, created and managed by peasant groups without any significant intervention by the stat…
Objetivos, métodos y práctica de la Arqueología hidráulica
El estudio de los espacios irrigados andalusíes ya cuenta con un volumen considerable de investigación desde las publicaciones más antiguas de T.H. Glick (1970-1988), P. Guichard (1982), P. Guichard y A. Bazzana (1981), M.A. Carbonero (1982, 1983), M. Bertrand y P. Cressier (1985), M. Barceló (1983), M. Barceló et al. (1986,1988) que, por primera vez, asociaron el estudio de estos espacios agrarios al conocimiento de la sociedad andalusí. T.H. Gl…
