One of the most relevant perspectives addressed in the contribution is the analysis of networks and connectivity applied to the figlinae, based on the topographic conditions of the territory, within the framework of the mouths of the Guadalquivir and Guadalete rivers, estuaries linked to the two cities of reference. A priori, it is intended to contrast two models of organisation of this landscape typical of the rural artisan settlements: on the one hand, a model linked primarily to the agricultural activity in the case of Hasta Regia, and, on the other hand, a model more linked to the supply of amphorae for the fish-salting activity in the case of Gades. Therefore, this contribution aims to visualise, quantify, and evaluate the associations and interconnections of production areas going beyond the spatial location of potteries and propose a methodology that allows a synoptic vision of the artisanal organization on the spaces.

Several important archaeological finds were made in 1975 and 2012, leading to the excavation of six test pits in 2017. Based on the existing legacy data, an extension of the state of knowledge was carried out by combining several geophysical tools. The geophysical tools chosen for this sample consist of a combination of data from two different georadar systems, to which data from a magnetometer survey is added. A series of post-processes are applied to the preliminary results to improve the visualisation and interpretation of the data. The combination of these techniques used at the site is an improvement that helps us to understand these spaces and their interaction with the historical landscape of La Mancha.

Despite the historical importance of this city, referenced in classical literature, the archaeological knowledge about it remains very scarce due to the difficulties around implementing any durable scientific research projects. Therefore, much of that written about the topographical features and configuration of the city has no unequivocal scientific support. Finally, 2019 saw the launch of this ongoing project “Balsa, searching for the origins of the Algarve”, which aims to ascertain the main features concerning the city’s extent and configuration, mainly through non-invasive methods. Since 2017, geomagnetic and geo-radar surveys have spanned several hectares and successfully identified many traces of the Roman city while d...

Su contexto geografico, litoral y fuertemente antropizado,dificulta el conocimiento historico del mismo. La teledeteccion y fotogrametria aereas y la generacion de distintas visualizaciones de los productos generados permiten detectar elementos historico-arqueologicos en areas donde aplicar una metodologia invasiva se vuelve complicado. Pero su principal ventaja es la capacidad de integracion e interaccion con fuentes historica o arqueologicas tradicionales EnglishThe Puente Melchor settlement has been the subject of various archaeological interventions; these have shown his industrial character.

Si la localización del oppidum primigenio en el municipio malagueño de Cañete la Real se sugiere gracias a la toponimia y la arqueología, no ha sido hasta hace muy poco tiempo, gracias a las exploraciones geofísicas, cuando se ha podido avanzar en la identificación del solar y los vestigios del municipio flavio de Sabora, nacido a raíz del beneplácito imperial, con los restos conservados en el yacimiento de El Carrascal. En esta contribución damos a conocer los datos de carácter urbanístico obtenidos sobre el asentamiento por nuestro equipo, mediante el empleo de un georradar multicanal, y ofrecemos una interpretación de los resultados, argumentando sobre el carácter urbano o villático de los vestigios documentados.

El rasgo caracterizador del asentamiento es que gran parte de las estructuras arqueológicas emergentes están vinculadas funcionalmente con el agua, desde su captación y acumulación, hasta la circulación y depuración. En este trabajo proponemos un procedimiento metodológico basado en el escaneo láser terrestre y el tratamiento de datos LiDAR aéreo. Nuestros objetivos son los de mensurar algunas de las principales estructuras y analizar posibles redes de comunicación entre estas que nos permitan comprender la gestión del agua en esta comunidad.

In fact, it is not always easy to distinguish the pomerium of the city from the constructions that were built in its surroundings, as is the case with the Flavian municipium of Balsa. The Roman city of Balsa, situated in southern Lusitania, has often been re‑ ferred as an important and extensive city, whose remains were largely destroyed by agricultural works. However, although excavations have been very limited and punctual and no systematic field research has ever taken place, attempts have been made to reconstruct this port city. With the project, “Balsa, Searching the Origins of Algarve”, we have tried, through non‑invasive geo‑ physical surveys and specific soundings, to clarify the dimension of its urban network and the degree of preservation of the ancient urbs, of which an extensive and rich remains from its necropolis and an interesting epigraphy are known. The results obtained have allowed us to verify that it was a much smaller city than previously thought, but with an important group of villae around it, which was frequently confused with the extension of its urban network.

A lo largo de la costa del sureste de la Península Ibérica existen numerosos restos vinculados a la producción de la purpura. Este estudio se centra en el yacimiento de Torregarcía (Almería, España), situado en el Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata-Níjar, una zona costera protegida de especial interés ecológico. Torregarcía se excavó inicialmente en 1990 y se identificó como una factoría romana de salazones en la que también se practicaba la actividad complementaria del tinte. A pesar de su importancia, ha pasado desapercibida en la historiografía de las últimas tres décadas y nunca ha sido objeto de una publicación científica. Las investigaciones presentadas en este libro se han llevado a cabo mediante técnicas de prospección no invasivas, como el georradar (GPR), y han revelado la importancia de la explotación del tinte púrpura como actividad principal del yacimiento. También se describen instalaciones más complejas asociadas a las estructuras excavadas y a un gran conchero. Junto a éstas, además, se han documentado otras construcciones y concheros. Todo ello conforma el denominado por nosotros "paisaje de la purpura" en el litoral del Sureste peninsular, que permite al Parque Natural mostrar un excelente patrimonio arqueológico más allá de las excavaciones realizadas hasta la fecha.
