This book presents the study of a natural region, the Alto Almanzora, in the north of the province of Almeria (Spain), in which 6 campaigns of systematic archaeological prospection were carried out. The study considers the societies that occupied the territory for more than 4000 years until the end of the Roman occupation.
Presentamos el estudio de una comarca natural, el Alto Almanzora, al norte de la provincia de Almeria (Espana), en la que llevamos a cabo 6 campanas de prospeccion arqueologica sistematica. Constituye una gran cubeta de 1675 km2, en el extremo oriental de la Cordillera Betica, que bascula hacia el mar Mediterraneo, con grandes diferencias de altitud entre sus bordes montanosos (llega a superar los 2000 m s.n.m.) y el fondo del valle. Su formacion geologica ha proporcionado todo tipo de recursos liticos, minerales, forestales, suelos para agricultura y pastos, a lo que hay que sumar sus recursos hidricos. Todo ello constituye un mosaico de diferentes entornos y contrastes en distancias cortas. En este trabajo se expone un estudio historico sobre un area del Sureste peninsular que constituia un vacio de investigacion, nos aproximamos al conocimiento de las sociedades que la ocuparon durante mas de 4000 anos hasta el final de la dominacion romana, a sus procesos de cambio y pervivencias siendo testigos del transito entre el interior y la costa. Exponemos los presupuestos teorico-metodologicos de los que partimos, la documentacion previa, el analisis de los datos obtenidos y finalmente procedemos a su interpretacion, coherente con todo lo anterior. Los resultados de los analisis de Termoluminiscencia han sido indispensables para este estudio diacronico de larga duracion. Se acompanan ademas otros estudios especificos sobre elementos arqueologicos como industria litica tallada y arqueometalurgia. Las tres autoras pertenecen al grupo de investigacion ABDERA (HUM-145) de la Junta de Andalucia, con sede en la Universidad de Almeria.
