Landscape research in urban or peri-urban areas implies important methodological constraints. In this sense, the area of study, placed in the Vallès basin, near the city of Barcelona, has known an important process of urbanization in the last two decades. This fact restrains the retrieving of archaeological data and the development of archaeological surveys and field-walking. The particular topography of the area must also be taken into account. It is characterised by soft slopes resulting from a differentiated seasonal rainfall. Archaeomorphological analysis has been therefore reconsidered in order to adapt its methods and techniques to this particular environment. The destruction of large agrarian areas implies that landscape morphology research must focus on an intensive work through historical cartography and old aerial photography within a gis environment. The article presents the results of the archaeological research developed in this area. The methodological approach previously exposed and the diversity of sources analysed has allowed us to characterize the ancient road network and to identify field systems from different periods.

A inicios del siglo VIII, el antiguo regnum gothorum se vio fragmentado en diferentes territorios políticos, como muestra la simultaneidad de dos reyes (Rodrigo y Akhila) entre 710-711. Con la conquista islámica de la Península Ibérica y la formación de al-Andalus, las diversas regiones conocieron distintos destinos: algunas aristocracias pactaron con los conquistadores, otras se vieron sometidas por la fuerza. Pero la tradición historiográfica ha visto en la ciudad de Tarragona una excepción, un caso aislado. El objetivo de este artículo es plantear una nueva hipótesis, según la cual, durante todo el siglo VIII, madinat Tarrakuna formó parte del Estado andalusí de la misma forma que otras antiguas sedes episcopales visigodas.

El cáliz “de San Segundo” atestigua cómo un mismo objeto puede aportar información sobre sus orígenes y sobre su trascendencia en la cultura material de un lugar y época que lo recibieron con posterioridad; desde las manos del platero Andrea Petrucci en la Siena del Trecento hasta su hallazgo en la ciudad de Ávila en 1519 y sus implicaciones en la construcción del mito de San Segundo.

L'exercici de l'arqueologia urbana a Tarragona ha permès la documentació de restes arquitectòniques del fortí del Rei, bastit en el context de la Guerra de Successió. L'element més significatiu és la documentació d'una galeria i/o camí protegit que connectava aquest fortí amb el de l'Oliva.

En aquest treball presentem una revisió del jaciment ibèric de la Serra de l’Espasa (Capçanes, Priorat) a partir de l’estudi, amb criteris actualitzats, del material conservat en el Museu Salvador Vilaseca de Reus. Els resultats són contrastats amb les darreres investigacions arqueològiques desenvolupades en el curs inferior de l’Ebre. A l’últim, s’analitzen les possibles interpretacions d’aquest conjunt, en particular la hipotètica existència d’un santuari, i les seves implicacions en el procés de romanització en aquesta zona.

En aquest estudi, l'aplicació regressiva de tècniques com la prospecció arqueològica, la foto i cartointerpretació, els SIG i el buidatge documental han permès la reconstrucció diacrònica del paisatge de l'àrea de la Maçana-Térmens-Rovirós (Begues). L'estudi paisatgístic del Garraf revesteix un singular interès per la seva condició muntanyenca i la seva intensa antropització. Els entorns de muntanya són medis especialment sensibles a processos de canvi, especialment en el cas del massís del Garraf, proper a importants nuclis d'habitació des de l'antiguitat. El nostre treball mostrarà com, en ocasions, el canvi paisatgístic ha estat irreversible al massís.

Societies exchange knowledge, ideas and merchandise throughout their territories. Topography plays a fundamental role in the trajectory of such movements whilst helping to explain the distribution of human constructions. Standard GIS functions have been employed widely to simulate communication routes between settlements, but the straight application of published least cost route models proved inadequate for Mediterranean alluvial plain areas in which seasonal floods become an important factor to acknowledge. The objective of this study is the production of a new model, using topographic and hydrologic factors as variables from which it would be possible to simulate a route, and test it against known Roman itineraries. The selected Roman stretches are Girona – Coll de Pannisars and Tarragona – Montblanc. The new model shows the need to consider each case individually but also stresses the hydrologic factor, expressed in seasonal floods, as being of prime importance in the creation and development of Roman roads in Mediterranean alluvial plains.

The widespread implementation of GIS-based 3D topographical models has been a great aid in the development and testing of archaeological hypotheses. In this paper, a topographical reconstruction of the ancient city of Tarraco, the Roman capital of the Tarraconensis province, is presented. This model is based on topographical data obtained through archaeological excavations, old photographic documentation, georeferenced archive maps depicting the pre-modern city topography, modern detailed topographical maps and differential GPS measurements. The addition of the Roman urban architectural features to the model offers the possibility to test hypotheses concerning the ideological background manifested in the city shape. This is accomplished mainly through the use of 3D views from the main city accesses. These techniques ultimately demonstrate the ‘theatre-shaped’ layout of the city (to quote Vitrubius) as well as its southwest oriented architecture, whose monumental character was conceived to present a striking aspect to visitors, particularly those arriving from the sea.

Forensic archaeology has been of inestimable help in the location and excavation of clandestine burials (Hunter 1996a:16-17, 1996b; Killam 2004; Levine et al. 1984). Landscape archaeology techniques have been adapted and widely applied for such purposes. In this article, an adaptation of one of the most common applications of archaeological GIS, that is predictive site location, is applied to the detection of body dump sites and clandestine burial sites, bringing together in the process the fields of landscape archaeology, forensic sciences, and GIS.
