La pala no es para las niñas
Este artículo reflexiona sobre la arqueología preventiva en Colombia a partir de mis experiencias personales a manera de autoetnografía, con el fin de cuestionar las desigualdades y violencias que atraviesan los proyectos de desarrollo. De esta manera, cuestiono el papel de la arqueología como disciplina antropológica; y controvierto los lugares desde los cuales se está construyendo conocimiento académico y su relación con las condiciones laboral…
At the Apothecary
In 1996, a cesspit was uncovered in the backyard of Bruges’ Spanish nation house. The interdisciplinary study of this old rescue excavation sheds new light on life in the city’s international district between the late 14th and early 16th century. The refuse in the cesspit is what is left of several generations of traders, from a well-to-do apothecary, employing alchemical apparatus in the production of pigments, to Spanish traders documented at t…
Sugar refining at Plymouth
An excavation on the eastern side of Sutton Harbour, Plymouth, uncovered the remains of a sugar house and related buildings. Documentary evidence confirms that the sugar house was built anew around the middle of the 17th century and remained active for at least a century, being out of use by 1754. The excavation has produced a large assemblage of ceramics used in the refining of sugar, but very little of it is of local manufacture. Once the sugar…
The earliest Chinese ceramics in Europe
The importation of Chinese porcelain and celadon into Europe has long been thought to have first begun around the thirteenth century AD. A unique group of Chinese ceramic sherds from archaeological contexts in Spain dated to between the ninth and eleventh centuries, however, now represents the earliest Chinese wares identified in Europe. Such an unexpectedly early presence on high-status sites in Western Europe probably reflects changing patterns…
The Archaeology of a Landslide
The multidisciplinary research described here shows how archaeologists can help reconstruct past seismic episodes and understand the subsequent relief operation, rehabilitation, and reconstruction processes. In October 1522, a major earthquake and landslide struck the then capital of the Azores, Vila Franca do Campo, 1500 km from the European mainland. Damage was extensive, destroying key monuments, affecting most of the inhabited area, and leavi…
Excavaciones arqueológicas en el yacimiento visigodo de Los Pozos (Bureta. Zaragoza) 2017
La prospección intensiva en Bureta (Zaragoza) y la geofísica han localizado un yacimiento visigodo en el término de Los Pozos. La excavación arqueológica realizada en el 2017 nos ha permitido recuperar datos sobre su morfología, cultura material, restos de fauna y restos botánicos, por ahora los únicos existentes para esta época en Aragón. La ocupación se produjo en una sola fase que se ha podido fechar entre mediados del siglo VI y mediados del …

Economic and socio-cultural consequences of changing political rule on human and faunal diets in medieval Valencia (c. fifth-fifteenth century AD) as evidenced by stable isotopes
This paper explores the impact of changing religious political rule on subsistence within a single city through time using stable isotope analysis of human and animal bone collagen. The diet and economy of the medieval city of Valencia (Spain) are examined over a 1000-year period during successive periods of Visigothic, Muslim and Christian rule. Bulk stable isotope analysis of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) was carried out on 67 humans and 47…
Overview
Historical evidence has provided a rich source of information concerning the structure and experience of the medieval life-course. Archaeology has also contributed to these debates, through the material remains associated with different age groups and the structural remains of houses, but primarily via the wealth of evidence provided by the medieval cemeteries. Human skeletal remains are proving to be a particularly fruitful source of data for un…
Looking South-East
This chapter presents a selection of topics in French later medieval archaeology which are relevant to a British context, such as landscape archaeology, villages and agriculture, towns and building traditions, power and belief, and burial rites. The development of ‘preventive’ or developer-led archaeology has had a significant impact in France, not just on techniques such as large-scale stripping of rural sites and associated landscapes but also …
Overview
Trade in the medieval period linked people from different countries together and transferred their goods, ideas, and fashions across continents. This overview explores the archaeology of these connections but also stresses other forms of cultural contact such as pilgrimage, gifts, commissions, and direct personal acquisitions. Key circuits of trade are identified, in the twelfth century overland through French fairs which exchanged northern Europ…
The Oxford Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology in Britain
The Middle Ages are all around us in Britain. The Tower of London and the castles of Scotland and Wales are mainstays of cultural tourism and an inspiring cross-section of later medieval finds can now be seen on display in museums across England, Scotland, and Wales. Medieval institutions from Parliament and monarchy to universities are familiar to us and we come into contact with the later Middle Ages every day when we drive through a village or…
Luminescence dating of qanat technology
With few exceptions in which dating is implied by indirect association with adjacent settlements or incorporation of diagnostic artefacts in upcast sediment, individual qanats have proven very difficult to date. This absence of a chronological framework hampers both our understanding of technology transfer, as well as the study of local settlement and landscape evolution and the temporal correlation of land use with climatic and palaeoenvironment…
Agricultural Buildings
Despite the apparent wealth of information that exists on agricultural buildings and the implements used to help cultivate the land and manage the livestock, there is still great potential for future research. The assemblage of agricultural equipment and buildings, which survive above ground in large numbers especially in England, is well known and lends itself to fresh approaches founded on landscape analysis. This chapter introduces readers to …

Archaeological Investigations at Priory Close, Northallerton, North Yorkshire
The remains of part of a Carmelite Priory were investigated at Priory Close, Northallerton, North Yorkshire, in advance of a residential development. Two buildings belonging to the Priory were uncovered. A structure interpreted as the east side of the cloister was exposed, surrounded by elements of the south and east ranges. Eight well-preserved burials were excavated from the area of the cloister. The buildings of the east range may have include…
Diet, society, and economy in late medieval S pain
This article investigates the diets of neighboring Christians and Muslims in late medieval Spain (here 13th–16th centuries) through the analysis of the stable isotopes of carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) in adult human and animal bone collagen. Twenty‐four Christians and 20 Muslims are sampled from two adjacent and contemporaneous settlements in the township of Gandía on the Mediterranean coast, together with the remains of 24 animals. Stati…
La ficción progresiva de Leonardo Valencia, o el autor somos todos
A partir del siglo XX han sido numerosos los ataques a la imagen del autor como ser extraordinario y autoridad del texto literario, que tuvo su consolidación durante el Romanticismo. Entre las reacciones a esta noción de autor encontramos los ensayos de W.K. Wimsatt y Monroe Beardsley, Roland Barthes y Michel Foucault. El escritor ecuatoriano Leonardo Valencia continúa con la reflexión sobre la figura del autor moderno, enmarcada en el ámbito del…
Eldbotle; the archaeology and environmental history of a medieval rural settlement in East Lothian
Excavations on the Archerfield Estate, East Lothian, have uncovered evidence in the form of buildings and enclosures, for the lost village of Eldbotle, a settlement which was in use from the 5th century AD to the 18th century, but at its peak during the 13th and 14th centuries. Excavated rural settlements of this date are rare in Scotland so this has been used as a rare opportunity to explore the impact of national political and environmental eve…

Portuguese coarsewares in early modern England
The study of a large hoard of Merida-type ware from Portugal found during excavation in Southampton prompts an examination of Portuguese pottery in 16th-and 17th-century England, its trade, uses and context
A shipwreck cargo of Sevillian pottery from the Studland Bay wreck, Dorset, UK
This article is an account of the pottery found at the Studland Bay wreck, Poole. The assemblage includes an important group of Spanish pottery made at Seville at the beginning of the 16th century, including the largest group of lustreware and blue-and-purple wares ever found in an archaeological context. These wares were probably carried as cargo and collected at a stopping-off point along the itinerary of the ship, probably to be sold in northe…
