This place stands out for the predominance of the water element in several structures of the villa, highlighting the balneum and the large natatio, one of the largest known in Roman Hispania. The records of the initial excavations that took place since 1967 do not allow the establishment of clear functionalities of the villa. The University of Évora, owner of the site, conceived an action plan for the requalification and enhancement of the archaeological site. One of the tasks aims to investigate using Applied Geophysics. This work analyses the landscape directly related to the villa, given that it is in the flooded area of a river, with a Roman containment dam. It is uncertain whether the water supply comes from this structure or other nearby springs. The use of ground-penetrating radar, combined with unnamed aerial vehicles, all integrated in a geographic information system, allows us to kn...

Selon les sources littéraires, il y avait une production intense de vin, dont la commercialisation on peut confirmer grâce aux amphores bétiques du type Haltern 70, que l’on retrouve dans diverses parties de la Méditerranée occidentale, et en particulier sur la route atlantique vers Britannia ou les légions rhénanes. Nous nous concentrons sur l’étude de cas du sud-ouest de la province, dans une région viticole, la région de Jerez, où des prospections archéologiques et l’étude des découvertes matérielles ont été réalisées pour identifier les indices de la production de vin tels que les amphores ou les dolia, ainsi que d’autres indicateurs tels que une cella vinaria ou d’anciens cadres de plantation des vignes.

Aunque conocemos mucho de su vida, de su profusa obra solo nos ha quedado De Re Rustica y De Lingua Latina. Sabemos también que ocupó importantes cargos militares en las guerras civiles en Hispania, a la que dedica bastantes pasajes específicos. En este artículo se analizan estas referencias ya que existen aparentes contradicciones en las citas dadas, siendo nuestra hipótesis principal que Varrón describe otras prácticas agropecuarias distintas de las romanas, que no habían sido contrastadas arqueológicamente, fundamentalmente porque se refieren al sur peninsular, provenientes de influencia turdetana u origen fenicio púnico.Palabras clave: Varrón; Hispania; agricultura romana; agronomía latina.

The Roman colonies of
Hasta Regia (Mesas de Asta, Jerez de la Frontera), Ilici (La Alcudia, Elche) and Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete), and the Latin municipalities of Balsa (Luz de Tavira, Faro), Arva (Alcolea del Río) and Calduba (La Perdiz, Arcos de la Frontera) located in the Roman provinces of Baetica, Tarraconensis and Lusitania have been used as case studies presented in this paper (Figure 1). The cities in this each differ, offering a wide variety in terms of their topography, geography, current uses, and states of archaeological intervention and conservation. Furthermore, research at each of them has been approached with due consideration to these particular conditions, while experimenting with the workflow that was considered more appropriate to develop the non-invasive research and ensure the best results. This paper discusses the different conditions and problems during the entire research process and the strategies applied, as well as the most relevant results in each case study as part of the conclusions from this experience. The
main techniques and tools used during this work have been Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), groundpenetrating
radar (GPR), magnetometry, photogrammetry and terrestrial Lidar. Due to the number of
sites studied, the period of the studies, the nature of the surfaces analysed, and the diversity of situations,
this research experience is unique among other Spanish teams specialising in non-invasive techniques.

Through these sources, we gain an understanding of how farms were partitioned and the elements employed to establish their boundaries. However, due to the general nature of the information, it is often difficult to apply it to modern-day archaeological studies, as we are typically only aware of the primary country house, such as the pars urbana in a villa. Nowadays, we have tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that allow us to approximate how could be the territory and its cadastre. In this article, we propose a methodology to combine Roman documentary evidence regarding land surveying, and tools to delimitate territoria in ancient sources, with geographic space, establishing a theoretical model on how to delimit estates in order to allow us to know their fundi. For this purpose, we use a case study in the Alto Alentejo (Portugal), a unique region where there is a high density of Roman villae, but whose settlement structure is not well known, and which could be part of a prefecture of the capital of Lusitania province Colonia Augusta Emerita. The proposed model allows us to visually see and relate the criteria applied by surveyors, like delimitation by streams or high elevations. This model translates the ancient knowledge to actual geography to propose boundaries, so we can discuss questions such as the possibility of secondary settlement as settlers or independent landowners or the potential areas of saltus.

The Bay of Cadiz has historically been characterised as a very dynamic socio-natural space. The current landscape is the result of a series of natural phenomena such as erosion, sedimentation and the influence of the tides, to which must be added intense anthropic action. For the High Imperial Roman period, mobility in this area must have been complex, as there are several elements to take into account: several areas of intertidal influence, where rivers and tidal channels converge, as well as the configuration of the coastline up to the city of Gades, elements that were very sensitive to anthropic modifications such as the construction of the main Roman roads and the aqueduct that supplied water to the city. This configuration makes the space comprising the Bay of Cadiz ideal for testing, through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the potential mobility that would have taken place in ancient times. To this end, this article reconstructs the palaeoenvironment of Cadiz through the creation of a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), defining the different conditions of mobility for a given case, and assigning different forms of mobility (terrestrial, fluvial, intertidal and maritime). Finally, the articulation of this space is discussed, using a "Model of Accumulation of Optimal Displacements from an Origin" (MADO)

The river was navigable from Roman times, forming a wide estuary that gradually silted up. In medieval times, archival documentation attests to the difficulty of crossing the river with light boats to reach El Portal Port, for the commercialization of Jerez de la Frontera wines. In this article, we model the landscape of the lower basin of the Guadalete, analysing the processes that influence its clogging. To do so, we resort to the creation of a Digital Terrain Model from LiDAR data. We propose a method for the restitution of the topography at a given historical moment, the use of historical cartography to establish the drift of the riverbed and an analysis of the natural (geology, hydrology, tides, catastrophic events) and anthropic (mills, salt works, ship ballast) factors that conditioned its navigability.

Within the ancient knowledge of the countryside, agronomy was the fundamental science, originally developed by the Romans and whose influence would remain well into modern times. In this article, we analyse Latin agronomic sources from three perspectives. First, we look at the sources and origins of these agronomists. Second, analysing the diffusion they would have among their contemporaries. Thirdly, to see the permanence of these sources in other historical moments, such as late antiquity, the Muslim and Christian medieval periods. We will focus on the case of Columella and the Lower Guadalquivir region in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Columella was the most important author for viticulture, who has an important later influence and a source of information on his uncle Marcus Columella, a farmer from Baetica.

The marble of the Estremoz Anticline is the most important of the Roman province of Lusitania, and one most of the Hispania, located over150 km from the coast. This product was exploited and distributed to several cities in Roman Hispania and North Africa. This article examines how this transport was carried out by land and river, calculating the economic costs involved. To do this, it is used several Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools in order to find the optimal routes and discuss the transport for heavy loads, relating the mobility to the cumulative economic cost of displacement.

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.

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.

É certo que se avançou na determinação dos locais de possível extracção em época romana e também na leitura da rede de povoamento, mas o foco ampliou-se muito. Procurou-se perceber qual a rede de escoamento dos mármores, procurando aplicar inovadoras análises de modelos digitais de terreno e de estudos de custo de transporte. Analisaram-se as possíveis rotas para o trânsito dos produtos, de acordo com a infra-estruturação do território e com as logísticas de distribuição e promoção do mármore. Mapeou-se a distribuição conhecida dos mármores, percebendo até onde chega a sua dispersão e propondo faseamentos cronológicos, também em função dos possíveis clientes.
Sabe-se, contudo, que este trabalho se encontra longe da sua conclu- são, permanecendo inúmeras questões em aberto. Deste modo, elencam-se também várias pistas para o futuro, desde a análise de modelos digitais ainda mais apurados, até à utilização de meios tecnológicos de alta precisão que permitam reconhecer as inúmeras dimensões da exploração em época romana que ainda não foram trazidas para a luz da análise.

As both uncle and nephew were citizens of Gades, we could locate these fields in the interfluve between Guadalquivir and Guadalete River, a land dominated by three important cities, Gades, Hasta Regia and Asido Caesarina. Columella wrote about special land conditions because of the good management effected by his uncle in his agricultural holding and other general considerations about Betic province. Comparing this data clues included in Columella’s book, with actual land characteristic, information of others ancient agriculture treatise and archaeological knowledge, using GIS spatial analysis, allow us the possibility to reconstruct rural areas and exploitation units, in order to discriminate part of the rural land ordination and propose where the Marcus Columella’s vineyards could be located.

the monograph. It is a case study of the Hasta Regia colony, an area chosen because it had certain preconditions that led us to believe that it was responsible for important wine production.
For this reason, this first chapter analyses the previous historical historiography on the main
studies that have been carried out in the territory of Baetica and the Lower Guadalquivir. It also
analyses the existing literature on Hasta Regia, which is one of the least known colonies in the
province. The question of rural settlement in the territory is also presented; there have been
few excavations and only very fragmentary archaeological surveys. Finally, an assessment is
made of the state of knowledge of agriculture in Roman times for our study area, where the
state of knowledge has not progressed for decades.

We know well the distribution and transformation technology, through studies of presses and ceramic containers for storing and transporting these products. But little is known about the production landscape. This is mainly due to the lack of specific sources in the literature, except for Roman agronomists and archaeology of perishable materials. The application of Geographic Information Systems makes it possible to interpolate some of the agronomic knowledge to current geography, allowing predictive models of areas with greater or lesser potential to host villa or even potteries or even a map of better agricultural soils for a vineyard. This paper presents the project currently underway to understand the unique area of the lower Guadalquivir, which we have been defending as the main wine producer in the Baetic region, through the review of legacy data and by articulating a series of predictive GIS analyses. We are currently checking the results of these analyses with surface and geophysical surveys, to reinvest this information in the model and improve it.

Non-Intrusive methodologies for large area urban research Rome Transformed conference, 2021

The city was interested in a long urbanisation process until Roman times.
Several historical settlements, with industrial and commercial function, integrated the territory of Cádiz bay, as well as other life and burial places like the inland settlement of Castillo de Doña Blanca. This population process was adapted to the marine landscape of the Bay, while itself caused the urban transformation of the coastal environment of the medieval Cádiz Bay.
Since 2016 our research team has carried out a non-invasive study with the aim of safeguarding the historic environment and advancing the research on the urban development. In this paper we show the results of the GPR surveys conducted in La Martela, the Punic harbour of Castillo de Doña Blanca. This is a Phoenician settlement known thanks to excavations carried out between 1979 and 2001 and the non-invasive investigations conducted by our team, consisting of aerial and land photogrammetry and geophysics surveys (with single and multi-antenna GPR system).
La Martela is located on the floodplain, at the foot of the Phoenician settlement of Castillo de Doña Blanca, in a zone where there were no archaeological remains. A 6 hectares survey area was covered with the GPR multichannel Stream X system, thus leading to the discovery of an archaeological site of short-term phase. The orthogonal layout and the building types, with the elongated rooms of the Phoenician and Punic 'warehouse' type, are a clue to date its last construction phase to the 3rd century BC.
In this communication we present the proposed workflow for optimising the results of large area multi-channel GPR surveys to obtain accurate urban cartography, enhancing the value of this method as a research source.
Although geophysical techniques use interpolation as a mechanism to visualise data, these results provide enough quality to map underground structures of archaeological interest with precision. Ultimately, the floor plans obtained through geophysical techniques should be considered as valid as the ones derived from a traditional survey of excavated archaeological remains.

In this paper we present the case studies represented by the Roman colonies of Hasta Regia (Mesas de Asta, Jerez de la Frontera), Ilici (La Alcudia, Elche) and Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete), and the Latin municipalities of Balsa (Luz de Tavira, Tavira), Arva (Alcolea del Río) and Calduba (La Perdiz, Arcos de la Frontera) located in the Roman provinces of Betica, Tarraconensis and Lusitania. These cities are different from each other and offer a wide variety of examples in terms of topography, geography, current land use, state of preservation and archaeological intervention. Therefore, research on each site was approached by considering its peculiarities. We have always experimented with the most appropriate investigation methodologies, mainly consisting in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), magnetometer and terrestrial Lidar. The present paper discusses the different issues encountered during the entire research process and the strategies applied, as well as the most relevant results for each case study as part of the conclusions of this experience. The large number of study sites, the length of the research period, the nature of the surfaces analysed and the diversity of situations make this research experience unique among the non-invasive investigations conducted so far in Spain.

The current landscape is the result of a series of natural confluences such as erosion, sedimentation, and the influence of the tides, to which must be added the intense anthropic action. This binomial results in an ecosystem that is very complex to define and analyse.
Using a methodological proposal based on legacy survey data collection and the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consisting of the elaboration of a set of Digital Terrain Models to which cost analyses are applied, specifically the analysis of the "Model of Accumulation of Optimal Displacement from an Origin" (MADO) and the generation of optimal paths, the aim is to define the conditions of mobility and connectivity both terrestrial and fluvial and maritime in the Bay of Cadiz based on the data obtained for the Early Roman Empire period.

This is a site with a continuous occupation from the middle of the Eighth century to the Third century BC. It is considered the most complete Phoenician-Punic archaeological site in the western Mediterranean, and has been the subject of several excavation campaigns, and two GPR survey done by the University of Cádiz Geodetection and Georeferencing Unit. In this investigation we present part of the results obtained from geophysical surveys, the first one in the 2016, and the second one in the 2019, as a research whose purpose has been the establishment of work protocols with different GPR configurations and conditions. The information has made possible comparisons of two GPR systems: the IDS STREAM X, a multichannel antenna with 200 MHz central frequency, and the mono-channel IDS HI-Mod 200 MHZ – 600 MHz, for small area surveys. Is evaluated the combined use of the GPR with the centimetric GPS georeferencing in real time, and post-processing filters applied for each survey. Furthermore, the research uses digital terrain photogrammetry with RPA, as the cartographic source for GIS. We conclude this work protocol for each GPR system including: definition of the optimal performance depending of the terrain conditions, the optimization of field survey data capture through auxiliary tools, the possible influence of the soils types, environmental conditions and the post-processing packets applied for each case.
