A diachronic (historical) perspective is considered, as well as several topics that form part of temporality-based approaches to border dynamics, such as time perception of the different actors (insiders and outsiders, among them the states), individual and collective memories, and the use of cultural heritage as a potential resource for community-building in peripheral territories.

Se desarrolló durante 30 horas (septiembre-noviembre de 2023). Los asuntos tratados fueron, principalmente, una introducción a la Arqueología y sus problemas, evolución humana, el poblamiento paleolítico de Asia Oriental, y la transición hacia las primeras sociedades agrícolas y primeras sociedades complejas en China, Corea y Japón. El cuestionario previo pretendía caracterizar el estado de los conocimientos del alumnado, destacando su percepción sobre el trabajo de los
arqueólogos, yacimientos conocidos, la utilidad de la Arqueología para el conocimiento del pasado de Asia Oriental, así como el efecto del eurocentrismo en la interpretación de las culturas asiáticas. Estas cuestiones se repitieron en un cuestionario final con el objetivo de evaluar la evolución de las competencias del alumnado. Los resultados fueron satisfactorios, lo que demostró la pertinencia de dedicar algunas horas a una introducción general a la Arqueología.

Se analiza desde estos planteamientos el poblamiento del Guadiana entre la Edad del Hierro y los primeros siglos de la presencia romana, considerando el río como un eje vertebrador de poblamiento. Asimismo, se discute el papel de los municipios en general, y de la arqueología en particular, en la cooperación transfronteriza.

O facto de ser a fronteira interna mais longa da Europa e a mais antiga configurou paisagens singulares e deu origem a patrimónios que podem ser valorizados e interpretados na perspectiva da História Global. Destacam-se quatro vias de análise das fronteiras políticas: como pontos de vigilância, como geradores de "identidades de fronteira", como territórios cujo património arqueológico reflecte séculos de contactos e interacção e, finalmente, como paisagens cuja singularidade pode ser valorizada a partir de uma abordagem holística. Este artigo apresenta como principal resultado a elaboração de propostas para a patrimonialização e musealização da paisagem fronteiriça hispano-lusa, assim como para uma gestão criativa orientada para o desenvolvimento sustentável das comunidades locais de áreas limítrofes.

social relations and interaction in borderlands, as reflected in tangible
and intangible heritage. Considering that there are phenomena that
can only take place in border contexts, we examine the Lower Gua-
diana basin (on the PortugalñSpain border) as a potential case study
for heritage enhancement. Historically, this territory is part of Europeís
oldest stable political border, as it was delimited in 1297 (Treaty of
Alcan~ ices). This condition was a determinant for the configuration
of a unique historical human landscape, with villages founded for
surveillance purposes, as well as buildings (fortresses or houses for
guards) along the borders. In contrast, the separations created by
the states provide clues about the development of unofficial social
relations and hybrid manifestations (e.g., smuggling, language con-
fluence). This article provides insight into the importance of intercon-
nections and mutual influences in the formation and consolidation
of unique cultural realities in borderlands that contradict the image
of rupture and separation created by mainstream historiography.
With this overview, it is possible to identify some topics for further
research on borderlands, especially in the current geopolitical con-
text, that is, after the elimination of border checkpoints in the Schengen
Area and the loss of the political importance of these peripheral
territories. This situation leads to the depopulation of border terri-
tories, especially in the hinterland, which can inspire the examination
of the particularities of this human landscape from a multidisciplinary
point of view. It should be noted that the Guadiana River is navigable
between its mouth and Mértola, which has determined human occu-
pation, interregional contact and its defence since the eighth century
BC.

Recently, the "La Ruta de las Estrimnides". Mediterranean trade and interculturality in the northwest of Iberia (HAR2015-68310-P) Research Project aimed to systematically study these southern materials in order to include them in a spatial and temporal context, as well as in an economic and commercial structure: navigation routes, scales, rhythms and frequency of travel, products that circulated in both directions and, above all, control mechanisms and power groups, direct or indirect, involved in this movement of people, products and ideas.

Assuming them as an additional tool in the integration process, European Council took advantage of the mentioned features to further the figure of the “Euroregion”, a territorial structure destined to encourage cooperation between two or more adjacent regions. Consequently, the Euro-regions constitute an opportunity to take actions that favour cohesion of the communities located on both sides of a border. Between them, initiatives oriented to the study of landscape have become a line of work aimed at knowledge transfer to public administration, productive sector and society.

Se trata de un periodo poco representado en el registro arqueológico conocido y musealizado, si bien se conocía desde hace años a través de materiales residuales procedentes de niveles posteriores, como el periodo altoimperial, tardoantiguo o medieval islámico. No obstante, las excavaciones realizadas a mediados de la pasada década en el solar de la Biblioteca Municipal han permitido documentar contextos primarios de finales de la Edad del Hierro y potentes depósitos de vertidos extramuros correspondientes a los primeros momentos de la presencia romana. Las evidencias proporcionadas ofrecen la oportunidad de estudiar en profundidad esta fase tan poco conocida de la antigua Myrtilis y conocer la dinámica comercial de su importante puerto.

The first season aimed to collect preliminary information through non-invasive techniques (topographical survey, walkover survey, geophysical survey and the recording of sections). This prospection has provided valuable information concerning the cultural sequence of the site, the areas in which the archaeological record is preserved (and to what extent it is preserved), the characteristics of architectural features and their evolution over the site’s seven-century history, and also concerning the site’s potential for future research, valorisation and outreach. Among the information collected, that which refers to architectural forms, constructive techniques and construction/repair/reconstruction patterns in inhabited areas is especially valuable, as they provide significant information about urban lifestyles and domestic practices in the Guadalquivir valley.

The permeability of the borderline zones, as well as its importance as meeting points, as transitional areas, etc., is one of the most interesting aspects of research about this kind of landscape. From this point of view, we examine the human settlement along the Guadiana Valley between the Iron Age and the first centuries of the Roman presence. In this paper is also discussed the role of archaeologists and municipalities in the cross-border cooperation.

This paper presents some questions about a Cross-border Reseach Program (ANA-lise/ ANA-lisis) that deals with the study of human settlement along the Guadiana Valley between the 8th Century BC and the 1st Century AD, as well as the project’s role among others in the European Union’s context; the results of two campaigns of field work and research are a stepping stone for a preliminary synthesis of the historical processes previous to the delimitation of the political boundary between Spain and Portugal with Alcañices’ Treaty (1297), as well as for a global reflection about the need to study and protect the cross-border Cultural Heritage.

The results presented in this paper are a stepping stone for further investigations about this oppidum and its territory, thanks to the study of the archaeological record identified during the excavations of Mértola’s public library.

It presents a synthesis of the state of the question. The lack of preserved contexts on this village is a problem that the recent excavations of Mértola's library by the Campo Arqueológico de Mértola can solve, serving as a stepping stone for further investigations about the occupational sequence during these periods. In terms of territorial and ethnical perspective , Myrtilis can be seen as a frontier place, with privileged defence conditions, as well as a strategic point of contact between other towns in the interior (e.g. Pax Iulia), the mines (São Domingos, Castro Verde) and the sea, which justifies its importance in the Antiquity and other periods.

Arqueología experimental y virtual para el estudio de los procesos de producción anfórica y comercialización en la Protohistoria” representa la cristalización de una larga trayectoria previa de investigaciones sobre los talleres alfareros y las tipologías de envases de transporte del suroeste peninsular desarrollada por el equipo tanto en el ámbito costero (Bahía de Cádiz) como en el interior del curso bajo del Guadalquivir. Tras casi dos décadas de investigaciones de campo, excavaciones, análisis tipológicos, sistematizaciones y caracterización arqueométrica de las producciones de estas regiones, planteamos esta iniciativa con el objetivo de añadir a estos resultados una aproximación etnoarqueológica y experimental. Para ello seleccionamos casos de estudio relevantes en cada una de las dos áreas mencionadas que aportasen documentación significativa y fiable sobre la arquitectura de los hornos, los procesos de torneado, el instrumental artesanal, las pastas y sus “recetas”, etc. En la bahía de Cádiz la atención se ha centrado sobre todo en Camposoto, Torre Alta y Villa Maruja – Janer, mientras que para el Bajo Guadalquivir la referencia principal son las áreas de producción documentadas en Cerro Macareno (en colaboración con el PGI Cerro Macareno [La Rinconada, Sevilla]: Arqueología y Patrimonio en la vega del Guadalquivir, dirigido por F.J. García Fernández). Teniendo como centros de operaciones principales el propio yacimiento sevillano y el Departamento de Prehistoria y Arqueología de la Universidad de Sevilla, el objetivo principal del proyecto ha sido el de dimensionar los recursos (humanos, materiales, temporales) necesarios para la construcción, alimentación, uso y reparación de los hornos alfareros de tradición fenicia de los siglos V-III a.C. propios del sector suroeste peninsular. Para ello se han diseñado tanto experimentos físicos, con la construcción y testado de un horno a escala 1:1,
