Aportacions de la prospecció arqueològica a l’estudi diacrònic de les dinàmiques del poblament rural antic al Vallès Oriental (segles V aC-v dC).
Abstract:
Since 2005, the Vallès Oriental area, located in a peri-urban basin near the city of Barcelona, has been the subject of a landscape archaeology research project undertaken by the Landscape Archaeology Research Group (GIAP) hosted by the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC). Within the framework of this project, a biannual archaeological survey programme (2008-2009) has been carried out with the aim of improving the quantity and quality of the available archaeological information. Archaeological surveys and fieldwalking have allowed us a) to check the basic information about the archaeological sites (location, extension, typology, chronology), b) to expand (and improve) the archaeological data, and c) to identify new archaeological sites. This paper is focused on the contribution of archaeological surveying to the diachronic study of ancient rural settlement dynamics.
