  • Agua e historia del paisaje en la Corona de Aragón: Distintas aproximaciones

    Open AccessJordi BolòsARTICLEAgua y Territorio / Water and…2023

    This study aims to assess the importance of irrigation water in the territories of the Crown of Aragon and show the changes that the use of water has caused in the landscape over the last two thousand years. The transformations that occurred during the Middle Ages are mainly analyzed, pointing out the importance of relating these changes with the mutations that occurred in society. In a special way, the different approaches that have existed when…

  • Agua e historia del paisaje en Cataluña: Novedades y resiliencias a lo largo de la Edad Media. El ejemplo de Lleida

    Open AccessJordi BolòsARTICLEAgua y Territorio / Water and…2023

    En las comarcas donde se levantan las ciudades de Lleida y de Balaguer, si se pretende asegurar una producción agrícola regular y suficiente, siempre ha tenido mucha importancia poder regar las tierras de cultivo. La época islámica (siglos VIII-XII) fue la etapa de nuestro pasado en la que se construyó un mayor número de acequias. En las próximas páginas nos interesamos por las características de las canalizaciones y las huertas que se crearon a …

  • Agricultural terraces in the Mediterranean: Medieval intensification revealed by OSL profiling and dating

    Open AccessSam Turner, Timothy Kinnaird et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2021Cited by: 30References: 37

    The history of agricultural terraces remains poorly understood due to problems in dating their construction and use. This has hampered broader research on their significance, limiting knowledge of past agricultural practices and the long-term investment choices of rural communities. The authors apply OSL profiling and dating to the sediments associated with agricultural terraces across the Mediterranean region to date their construction and use. …

  • Changes and continuities in a Mediterranean landscape: A new interdisciplinary approach to understanding historic character in western Catalonia

    Open AccessSam Turner, Jordi Bolòs et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2018Cited by: 4References: 33

    To understand why historic landscapes changed in the past researchers need to identify when and where changes took place, but in rural landscapes, the origins and development of many historic elements including field systems, roads, terraces and other earthworks remain poorly understood. This paper outlines a practical interdisciplinary method using GIS-based historic landscape characterisation (HLC) to integrate data from different sources and m…

  • Optically-stimulated luminescence profiling and dating of historic agricultural terraces in Catalonia (Spain)

    Open AccessTimothy Kinnaird, Jordi Bolòs et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2016Cited by: 23References: 3

    Dating agricultural terraces is a notoriously difficult problem for archaeologists. The frequent occurrence of residual material in terrace soils and the potential for post-depositional disturbance mean that conventional artefactual and lab-based dating methods often provide unreliable dates. In this paper we present a new technique using luminescence field profiling coupled with OSL dating to produce complete (relative) sequences of dates for se…

  • Changes and survival: The territory of Lleida (Catalonia) after the twelfth-century conquest

    Jordi BolòsARTICLEJournal of Medieval History2001

    The city of Lleida and its surrounding territory were conquered by the counts of Barcelona and Urgell in late 1149, ending over four centuries of Muslim rule. This territory formed the western frontier of Catalonia with Aragon and Lleida, and would be one of the major cities of what was known as ‘New Catalonia’, the lands conquered to the south and west of the Carolingian ‘Spanish March’ during the twelfth century. The article describes how patte…

  • Landscape and society in the county of Besalú (Catalonia) in the Middle Ages

    Jordi BolòsARTICLELandscape History1999

    The county of Besalú (Catalonia, Spain) in A.D. 785 started to became dependent on the Frankish kings. The territory was divided into ‘valleys’ and other districts. The main type of settlement during the ninth and tenth centuries was half-dispersed village (villares). After the year 1000, the search for protection against feudal violence brought the creation of many sacrariae, the sacred space surrounding the church, where houses were built. In s…

  • La xarxa viària catalana a l’Alta Edat Mitjana. Una aproximació des de la cartografia

    Open AccessJordi Bolòs, Víctor HurtadoARTICLEAnuario de Estudios Medievales1993

    Après avoir exposé quels étaient les principaux types de voies existant entre le IX et le XIIeme siècles et les principales caractéristiques de ces chemins, les auteurs tentent d'aborder ce que l'on sait au sujet des différents aspects du réseau de voirie du Haut Moyen-Age en Catalogne. Cela se fait à partir de l'analyse des sources diverses et presque toujours grâce a l'aide complémentaire de la carro­graphie. Les auteurs font mention de voies q…
