Social structure and territory. Landscape Archaeology (SST-LA)

The research group focuses on cultural landscapes as the basis for understanding social formations in Ancient Hispania. Landscape is understood as synthesis of social relations and their environment. Our Landscape Archaeology approach enables an integral analysis of all types of information, including archaeological and written data.The group is also involved in the development of innovative research methodologies and techniques that guarantee both the comprehensive treatment of the record and an adequate research strategy. This applies fundamentally to the study of social change between the Iron Age and Roman rule, mainly in the Northwest and West of the Iberian Peninsula in agrarian and mining areas. One of the main activities carried out by the group includes the transference of research in the form of the creation and management of lasting cultural heritage resources for local communities.
