zona de producción metalúrgica. Se trata de una fortificación con una ocupación entre los siglos VIII y XIII. En este trabajo se analiza en detalle la evolución de la fortaleza a través de la arqueología de la arquitectura
y se ponen en relación con las posibilidades mineras del territorio circundante para contextualizar la zona de producción metalúrgica. Los resultados muestran que esta producción se circunscribe a la etapa altomedieval y parece corresponderse con los modelos productivos tardoantiguos y altomedievales documentados en la cara norte de la sierra, con pequeños talleres alejados de las zonas de extracción. Se trata de un importante avance en nuestros conocimientos sobre minería y metalurgia medieval en la cara sur de Sierra Nevada, prácticamente desconocida hasta este momento.

This paper aims to present the constructive evolution of the fortress of Guarros (Paterna del Río, Almería) and the discovery of a metallurgical
production area. This fortification was occupied between the 8th and 13th centuries. This work analyses in detail the evolution of the fortress through building archaeology. It relates it to the mining possibilities of the surrounding territory to contextualise the metallurgical production area. The results show that this production is limited to the early medieval period and seems to correspond to the Late Antique and Early Medieval production models documented on the northern side of Sierra Nevada, with small workshops far from the extraction areas. This is an important advance in our knowledge of medieval mining and metallurgy on the southern face of Sierra Nevada, practically unknown until now.

Fue emplazada en la comarca granadina del marquesado del Zenete, y construida en el ano 1889 por la industria colonial minera europea. Para ello nos adentramos en su origen historico, y analizamos este proyecto tecnologico tan original que permitio un nuevo sistema de trasformacion de la energia. Dirigido y ejecutado por una serie de ingenieros, metalurgicos, hombres de negocios y campesinos, que a traves de su trabajo y voluntad fueron participes del proceso de industrializacion en Espana con el desarrollo de la maquinaria y el trabajo socializado que cambiara un modo de vida. Estos vestigios conforman hoy en dia un patrimonio industrial en riesgo de desaparecer. Memoria viva de lo que fue nuestra industria minera con el desarrollo de la ingenieria y sus valores sociales, identitarios y culturales. PALABRAS CLAVES: Agua, Aire, Colonia Industrial, Compresion, Fundicion

Entre nuestros objetivos destacamos “Diseñar estrategias contextualizadas para la conservación, difusión y puesta en valor del patrimonio cultural y del medio ambiente y promover estrategias de desarrollo sostenible en zonas rurales a través del análisis de las problemáticas actuales que afectan a su supervivencia”. Dentro de esta línea de objetivos, el proyecto MEMOLA ha llevado a cabo la recuperación de la acequia medieval de Barjas y el ramal de la Hijuela en Cáñar (Granada, España), que llevaba más de treinta años abandonada. Se trata de una acequia de época medieval situada a unos 1400m, cuya longitud total es de 5km, pertenecía a un antiguo pueblo llamado Barjas, abandonado a mediados del siglo XIX debido a un desprendimiento del terreno. Se encuentra en el marco de la Alpujarra, dentro del robledal y el castañar más meridional de toda Europa y del Espacio Protegido de Sierra Nevada. Los trabajos se realizaron mediante técnicas tradicionales junto con la Comunidad de Regantes local y gracias a 18 organismos entre los que hay instituciones, asociaciones, organismos locales y centros educativos. Durante el mes de recuperación de la acequia participaron 180 voluntarios procedentes de distintos puntos de la geografía nacional e internacional.

(www.memolaproject.eu)
One of the main objectives of this project is the study of cultural landscapes from Late Antiquity until today using an interdisciplinary methodology. There are four study areas: Sierra Nevada in Spain, Colli Euganei, Monti di Trapani in Italy and Vjosa valley in Albania. The archaeological studies have a strong dissemination component based on open access to all the results to local rural communities and a permanent contact with stakeholders with which we’re directly working. This strong relation between the project and the local communities will let us know from inside their current situations (problems and demands) to get another main objective which is define criteria for sustainable development policies.

As a result of a coevolutive process between nature and human being, landscapes are full of values and hotspot for a variety of actors. They are historical products, places of interaction between past societies and natural resources, creators of identity, places where people lived and still live. Cultural landscapes are an essential part of our heritage.

From a scientific point of view, cultural landscapes are multidisciplinary in their essence, needing for their understanding the involvement of researchers from several disciplines. MEMOLA project involves not only archaeologists and historians, but also anthropologists, agronomists, botanists, hydrologists, hydrogeologists, pedologists, environmentalists, etc...

Local communities participate and get involved in the project, as active members possessing the knowledge that must be preserved as a vehicle to ensure the survival of their own landscapes. We work with different groups, such as growers, farmers, schools, policy makers, cultural and environmental associations, local women’s association, public institutions and research centers. Their participation in the research process as well as the outreach activities allow to grow up the knowledge on cultural landscapes and traditional practices. Various groups got involved in several MEMOLA activities, such as: intergenerational meetings, community mapping, recovery of traditional irrigation channels and trails, educational activities and guided tours, in line with principles of Public and Community Archaeology.

Digital communities, with the help of thematic blogs and social networks, can find as well in a cultural landscape a physical place to cluster around a common theme, that can connect their daily life and their spare time, their roots and their work, their commitment and their aspirations.

At the same time, the landscape is also a great source of data for digital modelling, requiring expertise coming from several specialists: from reconstruction of past landscapes to 3D modelling of geographical and archaeological features, from community mapping to cultural thematic routes, from gaming to educative resources.

landscapes. These landscapes are the result of complex interactions between biodiversity (at all levels,
including species richness, ecosystem and biotope diversity) and cultural diversity, including material
and immaterial aspects (architectural heritage, traditions, customs, local traditional agricultural
practices, dialectal culture, etc.). The main theme is the traditional use of water related to traditional
hydraulic systems, which in some areas date back to medieval times. Traditional agricultural
landscapes grant a variety of ecosystem services and play a key role in biodiversity conservation. They
support the persistence of a rich heritage of cultivated plant varieties and, at the same time,
determine an ecosystem infrastructure that preserves wild animal and plant biodiversity.

The intention is to ascertain how they are conducted and to identify in which conceptual and normative contexts archaeologists should act in their approach to putting into practice a participatory model. This paper advances that this cannot be initiated uniquely from archaeological, or even heritage or cultural, practices. Environmental factors and natural
values are essential and have often prevailed over more integrated conceptions of coevolutionary processes between humans and the environment.

Las comunidades de regantes son las instituciones responsables del funcionamiento y conservación de estos sistemas de riego y su labor cotidiana descansa en dos pilares fundamentales: por una parte, la organización comunitaria para el aprovechamiento de un recurso escaso y, por otra, la posesión de conocimientos etnoecológicos vitales para comprender el medio natural serrano. Ambos aspectos constituyen un rico Patrimonio Inmaterial que debe ser reconocido y protegido, pues de él depende la conservación del paisaje cultural en su conjunto.

De hecho ha pasado de ser un espacio que se protegía por lindar con el yacimiento arqueológico a adquirir una propia entidad. También se ha visto que es necesario potenciar participación social a través de la cual la comunidad contribuye al funcionamiento del museo. En Andalucía encontramos un amplio abanico de conceptos relacionados con el museo-territorio, con diferentes características en cuanto a protección, conservación y tutela del patrimonio.

evaluation model for participatory/public/community archaeology and
heritage initiatives. The proposal is the result of discussions during a
Spring School that the University of Padua and the MAG Museum of
Alto Garda, Italy, organized between 9 and 15 April 2018. The Spring
School brought together international practitioners to compare
experiences and share visions for the sustainable future of archaeology
and heritage management. We reflect on the process of bringing
together our thoughts and views into one place, and on the theoretical
and practitioner contexts that inform our proposed model. The model is
intended for researchers and practitioners planning to carry out
archaeological and heritage projects with communities. We invite
readers to try using some or all of the sections of the model in their
own work and to contribute to further refinement of the approach.

Se trata de un área de alta montaña cuyas fortificaciones han supuesto un caso de estudio clásico dentro de la arqueología de al-Andalus (Cressier 1983, Cressier 1984; Trillo 1998). Sin embargo, estas han sido analizadas sobre todo desde la perspectiva del control territorial y de las fuentes escritas, sin centrarse en el análisis de las construcciones propiamente dichas. No obstante, las técnicas constructivas pueden ofrecernos una importante información sobre las cronologías, sus constructores y la tecnología empleada en ellos, área de estudio que tiene bastante tradición para al-Andalus (Azuar 1995, Azuar 2005; Bazzana 1980; Bazzana y Guichard 1987; Gurriarán 2004; Gurriarán y Sáez 2002). En este trabajo presentamos los resultados del análisis de las técnicas constructivas presentes en las doce fortalezas medievales conservadas en la Alpujarra Alta granadina, parte del estudio arqueológico e histórico más amplio de estas fortificaciones (Rouco 2021).
