Integrating legacy survey data into GIS‐based analysis
Surface archaeological survey has been widely established as the principal method for the regional study of Mediterranean diachronic landscapes. Before the introduction of GPS and digital, GIS‐based recordings in the late 1990s, survey projects employed analogue recording strategies (e.g. personal notebooks, printed forms and cartographic materials) resulting in low‐precision spatial datasets. These archives, termed here as legacy survey data, ca…
The prehistoric site of Oued Beht, Khémisset, Morocco
This report presents the first in-depth publication of preliminary data from Oued Beht, northwest Morocco, a remarkable site initially identified in the 1930s and now newly investigated. It is based on fieldwork undertaken in 2021–2022 (photogrammetry, survey and excavation), and associated study and analyses. Oued Beht is shown to be a large site of ca. 9–10 hectares in main extent, with many deep pits and convincing evidence for a full package …
Oued Beht, Morocco
The Maghreb (north-west Africa) played an important role during the Palaeolithic and later in connecting the western Mediterranean from the Phoenician to Islamic periods. Yet, knowledge of its later prehistory is limited, particularly between c. 4000 and 1000 BC. Here, the authors present the first results of investigations at Oued Beht, Morocco, revealing a hitherto unknown farming society dated to c. 3400-2900 BC. This is currently the earliest…

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…
Potential of deep learning segmentation for the extraction of archaeological features from historical map series
Historical maps present a unique depiction of past landscapes, providing evidence for a wide range of information such as settlement distribution, past land use, natural resources, transport networks, toponymy and other natural and cultural data within an explicitly spatial context. Maps produced before the expansion of large-scale mechanized agriculture reflect a landscape that is lost today. Of particular interest to us is the great quantity of…
New developments in drone‐based automated surface survey
This paper presents new developments on drone‐based automated survey for the detection of individual items or fragments of material culture visible on the ground surface. Since the publication of our original proof of concept, awarded with the Journal of Archaeological Science and Society for Archaeological Sciences Emerging Investigator Award 2019, additional funding has allowed us to implement a series of improvements to the method. These aim t…
Automated detection of archaeological mounds using machine-learning classification of multisensor and multitemporal satellite data
Significance This paper illustrates the potential of machine learning-based classification of multisensor, multitemporal satellite data for the remote detection and mapping of archaeological mounded settlements in arid environments. Our research integrates multitemporal synthetic-aperture radar and multispectral bands to produce a highly accurate probability field of mound signatures. The results largely expand the known concentration of Indus se…
What happened in the highlands? Characterising Pyrenean livestock practices during the transition from the Iron Age to the Roman period
A brave new world for archaeological survey
Archaeological pedestrian survey is one of the most popular techniques available for primary detection of archaeological sites and description of past landscape use. As such it is an essential tool not just for the understanding of past human distribution, economy, demography and so on but also for cultural heritage management and protection. The most common type of pedestrian surface survey consists of fieldwalking relatively large tracts of lan…
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…
