La transformación del paisaje rural tras la fundación del obispado de Eio-El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete, España): siglos V al IX d.C.

Exploring the Dynamics of Occupation between Resilience and Abandonment in Two Post-Classic Rural Landscapes on the Iberian Peninsula

“…The selected transects were subjected to remote sensing and intensive full-coverage surface surveys, assisted by geospatial technologies. The data Land 2023, 12, 768 3 of 22 collected were integrated into a GIS environment with various cartographic sources and known archaeological sites from previous works [4][5][6][7]. During the first phases of the research, we carried out a general action to identify archaeological evidence in the different rural environments of TM and CVS, where we did not find many urban alterations.…”

“…Archaeological investigations have traditionally focused on this site because of the depopulated condition of the city and the fact that its archaeological records and transition contexts are so well preserved. For this reason, one of the main archaeological problems that has been faced in recent years is the recognition of the rural settlement patterns and landscape management strategies used in the different periods when TM headed this territorial system, as well as the degree of continuity of Roman structures in the Early Middle Ages [5,7,14,15].…”

Filling the gap: Peasant Studies and the archaeology of medieval peasantry in light of the Northern Iberian evidence

“…However, some of them have stood out when dealing with the complexities of early medieval peasant societies, creating stimulating ways to push these questions further. That is the case of, for example, the analysis of settlement pattern, specially the process of village formation and the development of peasant domestic units, which have acknowledged the territorial diversity of the Iberian peasantries (Arino Gil, 2018; Bolos i Masclans, 2014; Caballero Zoreda, Mateos Cruz, & Cordero Ruiz, 2012; Castaño Aguilar, 2016; Civantos, 2018; Cordero Ruiz, 2013; Eiroa, 2012; García Vargas et al, 2013; Gutiérrez Lloret & Grau, 2014; Karen, Esther, & Dolores, 2018; Quirós Castillo, 2009a; Roig Buxó, 2009; Sarabia Bautista, 2014; Tejerizo García, 2017; Vigil‐Escalera, 2007). An important achievement following this line was not only to understand peasant communities in themselves but also to acknowledge their inner social inequalities and even social mobility, which confronted the traditional idea of underdeveloped and egalitarian societies (Quirós Castillo, 2016b, 2019).…”

Los paisajes que encontró Tariq. La bahía de Algeciras entre los siglos III y VIII

“…Aunque es indudable que estas aldeas mantendrían lazos de dependencia con las ciudades, en cuyos entornos se ubican, la presencia de necrópolis denota un carácter estable, unos vínculos de propiedad y por tanto una cierta autonomía. Es importante subrayar en todo caso la dificultad de valorar el grado de dependencia de los grupos campesinos de estos sitios respecto a la ciudad, aunque desde luego parece claro que este nuevo tipo de asentamientos, conocidos en otros ámbitos, revelan cambios significativos en la tenencia de la tierra (Gutiérrez Lloret y Grau, 2012;Sarabia, 2014).…”
