The detection in both churches of elements such as crypts and individual burials, as well as their disposition and location within the priority spaces of the period, confirm the effectiveness of the application of non‑invasive research techniques in the study of the building substrate in this type of construction. The work has also managed to identify possible struc‑ tural reinforcements of pillars, extension works and/or modifications possibly undertaken in modern times, all of which are underground. The results of the geophysics of both cases allow us to conclude that there are multiple constructive similarities following their chrono‑ logical parity and with the transformations that are carried out in the churches in modern times, a product of the customs and rites of the Christian world and the policies of rationalization of space. At the same time, the research has allowed a significant improvement in the establishment of the methodology for obtaining GPR data inside religious buildings, with the use of relative georeference systems and other auxiliary means. Consequently, the optimal performances, the appropriate GPR data densities for the correct obtaining of results and the advantages of the use of a bifrequency GPR system 200 MHz ‑ 600 MHz are defined.

Este territorio, caracterizado por su feraz campiña, su condición ribereña, y surcado por numerosos esteros, como describía Estrabón, conoció una intensa explotación agrícola, destacando la producción y la exportación de derivados vitivinícolas en ánforas de la familia Dressel 1 y Haltern 70. La aplicación de técnicas de análisis GIS combinadas con prospección geofísica con georradar nos permite proponer nuevas claves del ordenamiento de este espacio, conocido hasta la fecha mediante prospecciones superficiales tradicionales. Se analiza la distribución del sistema de villae en un espacio presuntamente centuriado. Igualmente, se identifican y analizan los alfares productores de ánforas destinadas a la distribución de los productos hastenses. La exploración de la urbs con georradar Stream X permite reflexionar sobre la aplicación metodológica de nuevas técnicas al estudio no invasivo del territorio urbano y productivo de la ciudad romana.

The results of the geophysical prospection with multichannel georadar are offered for the definition of the archaeolog‑ ical structure discovered, together with the results of a surface micro‑prospection with centimeter GPS over the location area of this Roman imperial building. The main objective is to advance, through the combination of both techniques, in the formulation of functional hypotheses about the documented constructive spaces, as part of the methodological development of Non‑Invasive Historical‑Archaeological Research. Keywords : GPR survey; microsite prospecting; Roman rural settlement; Non Invasive Research; Miramundo site.

with a bifrequency georradar GPR equipment, which have allowed to determine the existence of events possibly associated to the Christian
burial world and modern/contemporary modifications. The detection in both churches of elements such as crypts and individual burials,
as well as their disposition and location within the priority spaces of the period, confirm the effectiveness of the application of non‑invasive
research techniques in the study of the building substrate in this type of construction. The work has also managed to identify possible structural
reinforcements of pillars, extension works and/or modifications possibly undertaken in modern times, all of which are underground.
The results of the geophysics of both cases allow us to conclude that there are multiple constructive similarities following their chronological
parity and with the transformations that are carried out in the churches in modern times, a product of the customs and rites of the
Christian world and the policies of rationalization of space.
At the same time, the research has allowed a significant improvement in the establishment of the methodology for obtaining GPR data inside
religious buildings, with the use of relative georeference systems and other auxiliary means. Consequently, the optimal performances, the
appropriate GPR data densities for the correct obtaining of results and the advantages of the use of a bifrequency GPR system 200 MHz ‑
600 MHz are defined.

This intervention provided us with a chronological sequence in accordance with the history of the town. Due to the large extension of the site intervened, different structures from clearly differentiated historical moments were unearthed: it offered particularly relevant records of the foundational Islamic period of Jerez, of its medieval Christian urban layout and of the period during which the Belen Convent once stood on the site. One of the most important achievements of this intervention is the documentation for the first time of caliphal period structures within the city walls.

Se ha terminado una intervención previa inconclusa del arquitecto Menéndez Pidal y se ha puesto en valor el sistema de aprovisionamiento de agua de la fortificación, así como un ala inédita de su Pabellón Real. ABSTRACT Archaeological intervention inside the walls of the Alcazar of Jerez de la Frontera. It has completed a previous unfinished intervention of the architect Menéndez Pidal and has been worth the water supply system of fortification and a unknown wing of the Royal Pavilion.

Recent work on model building, complex network analysis and computer simulation technologies has integrated and analysed diverse data sets – literary sources, settlement evidence, ceramics, amphorae, epigraphy, ethnographical data – in order to reassess production, marketing and consumption across the Roman world. Examples include the Monte Testaccio Project (Baetican oil), the Cella Vinaria Project (Laetanian wine) and the Riparia Project (Baetican wine), as well as many other collaborative research initiatives around the Mediterranean and wider Roman world.
The principal objective of this session is to explore how quantitative methods and semantic-based data management techniques can improve our ability to define, validate or refute economic theories about the organisation of large-scale production and long-distance exchange of foodstuffs. We wish, in particular, to facilitate interdisciplinary discussion about how we can evaluate the role of the state versus the free market in food supply and to assess how the multiple production strategies of a mixed agricultural economy (fruits, vegetables, wheat, olive oil, wine, salted fish, garum, etc.) were integrated within specific territories and largely peasant-based economies. We are also interested in the interactions between economy and environmental variables, the theoretical limits imposed on production and productivity by arable and pastoral regimes, labour and production costs, etc. and on the relationship between production and consumption in the context of growing population.
The session will use the presentation of case studies to demonstrate various multidisciplinary methods and techniques for the analysis of complex economic systems, integrating conventional archaeological methods and landscape archaeology with econometrics and computational modelling.
We would like to invite papers that develop case studies addressing some of following:
Datasets: the representation of archaeological data; database management; ontology and semantic markers
Quantitative methods: GIS and spatial analysis of settlement patterns, production strategies, microeconomic studies, demand and supply, trade routes, markets, and consumption trends
Model building and computer simulation: the use of Agent Based Models, Complex Networks Analysis, Predictive Modelling, Spatial Econometrics and Regression Analysis
