Ewes of a leather flock together. Feeding management systems during Late Antiquity in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula (4th c. – 8th c. AD)
In recent years, the dental microwear analysis technique has been proven as an approach for contributing to animal husbandry research. It has been tested with good results on providing information related to the animal feeding strategies of bygone agri-livestock societies. In this paper, we present the first dental microwear study from the northeast of Tarraconensis province –the administrative region covering the northeastern Iberian Peninsula i…
Neolithic livestock practices in high mountain areas
This paper presents the results of the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental investigation carried out at Molleres II site located at 2.425 m a.s.l. in the area of Puigpedrós-Malniu (Meranges, La Cerdanya, Eastern Pyrenees). A high-resolution multi-proxy research is proposed combining landscape archaeology, soil micromorphology, anthracology, biomolecular analysis, and radiocarbon dating. This work allowed us to characterize the site's functiona…
From Villae to Early Medieval Communities in Tarraconensis Region (Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula)
In recent years, archaeology involved itself in solving one of the main challenges affecting our knowledge of the Visigoth period: the lack of finds. This has led to the study of a number of different types of finds, including faunal remains that, until very recently, had been overlooked. In this paper we present an archaeozoological study focusing on animal taxa identification, anatomical categorisation and the kill-off patterns of faunal remain…
Landscape footprints of peopling and colonisation from the Late Bronze Age to Antiquity in the coastal hinterland of Emporion-Emporiae , NE Iberia
The Empordà plain attests to a remarkable mixture of Late-Holocene cultural exchanges and colonial processes. This includes the founding of Emporion, the earliest Greek colony in Iberia, and of the Roman city of Emporiae. This study aims at assessing landscape changes related to indigenous and colonial settlement in this unique scenario where the shaping of cultural landscapes occurred within a dynamic coastal ecosystem. We carried out a high-tem…
Structuration et occupation de la plaine littorale d’Empúries dans l’Antiquité
Cette contribution traite de l’étude des espaces agraires antiques, de l’occupation du sol et du phénomène de la centuriation dans la plaine littorale de l’Empordà (nord-est de la Catalogne). Caractérisée par des interactions socio-environnementales complexes, la plaine littorale de l’Empordà est marquée par la présence de vastes espaces atterris et de milieux humides liés aux inondations fluviales ainsi que par celle de cordons littoraux. Des ap…
What happened in the highlands? Characterising Pyrenean livestock practices during the transition from the Iron Age to the Roman period
Behind the steps of ancient sheep mobility in Iberia
Arqueología del paisaje en el entorno de «Lauro»
The link between the place-name Lauro and the ancient history of the eastern part of Vallès region (Barcelona) is a constant throughout historiography. In this paper, this ancient Lauro serves as a guide to present the results of a research conducted in a small area, which due to archaeological data complexity has been of great interest to study the dynamics of territorial structuration in one of the first rural areas conquered by Rome outside th…
Tracing the land use history and vegetation dynamics in the Mont Lozère (Massif Central, France) during the last 2000 years
Pitch production during the Roman period
The authors' research project in the Pyrenees mountains has located and excavated Roman kilns for producing pitch from pine resin. Their investigations reveal a whole sustainable industry, integrated into the local environmental cycle, supplying pitch to the Roman network and charcoal as a spin-off to the local iron extractors. The paper makes a strong case for applying combined archaeological and palaeoenvironmental investigations in upland area…
Análisis arqueomorfológico y dinámica territorial en el Vallés Oriental (Barcelona) de la Protohistoria s. VI-V a.C.) a la alta Edad Media (s. IX-X)
La investigación sobre el paisaje en zonas urbanas o periurbanas implica importantes limitaciones metodológicas. En el presente estudio, el trabajo se centra en un llano pre-litoral próximo a la ciudad de Barcelona, el Vallès Oriental, profundamente urbanizado en las últimas dos décadas, hecho que condiciona la recuperación de nuevos datos arqueológicos y la implementación de programas de prospección arqueológica. Asimismo, la particular topograf…
The Roman Centuriated Landscape
Although centuriation was only one system of Roman land division, its impact on the landscape and its visibility in modern field arrangements make it the most commonly recognized expression of Roman landscapes. Centuriated grid systems are usually analyzed from a materialistic point of view and consequently are regarded as an assertion of Roman dominance over conquered territories. In this sense, their productive function is clear. The hinterland…
Testing micro-regional variability in the Holocene shaping of high mountain cultural landscapes
Les Pyrénées romaines, la frontière, la ville et la montagne
This article draws from recent publications dealing with the Roman Pyrenees (the Panissars trophy, microregional studies carried out by the ICAC) in order to discuss the thematics of the natural border and the incompatibility of town and mountain. Landscape archeology enables one to observe the diversity of the romanisation of the Pyrenean valleys. The location of the limits between the three Roman provinces of Aquitania, Gallia Narbonensis and T…
Tracing the history of highland human management in the eastern Pre-Pyrenees
Although high mountain areas have traditionally been viewed as predominantly grazing areas, with low population and a high degree of land-use stasis, recent research suggest that land-use complexity and change over time has been underestimated. This interdisciplinary palaeoenvironmental analysis has been carried out on the Pradell calcareous fen, located in the eastern Pre-Pyrenees (Spain) at 1975 m a.s.l., and it comprises different environmenta…

In the Southern French Alps, the first evidence for prehistoric human presence has been revealed by multidisciplinary and dia-chronic research programs developed in the Argentiérois, Champsaur and Ubaye high altitude massifs in the Ecrins National Park (Hautes-Alpes), and in the Mercantour National park in the Ubaye (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence). This work correlates archaeological and palaeoenvironmetal data. This approach assesses the modes of expl…
Dynamique du peuplement et activités agro-pastorales durant l'âge du Bronze dans les massifs du Haut Champsaur et de l'Argentierois (Hautes-Alpes)
Des programmes de recherche pluridisciplinaires sur l'occupation du sol et le pastoralisme de la Préhistoire au Moyen Âge dans le sud du massif alpin sont menés, depuis 1998, sur les massifs du Haut Champsaur, de Freissinières et de l'Argentièrois (Hautes-Alpes). Des dix phases d'occupation et d'activité agropastorale mises en évidence (prospections pédestres et fouilles), entre 1 600 et 2 700 m d'altitude, trois se distinguent : la fin du Néolit…
