The latest entry in the ‘Limina/Limites: Archaeologies, histories, islands and borders in the Mediterranean’ series presents the study of the rural landscape of the eastern part of the island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands) during Late Antiquity, providing new data that improves our understanding of one of the least well-known periods
En La transformacion del mundo rural en la isla de Mallorca durante la Antiguedad tardia la autora presenta el estudio del paisaje rural de la zona este de la isla de Mallorca (islas Baleares) durante la Antiguedad Tardia, proporcionando nuevos datos que permiten mejorar el conocimiento de uno de los periodos peor conocidos de la historia insular. Se presentan los resultados del estudio de antiguas prospecciones arqueologicas realizadas en la isla que no habian sido publicadas y los resultados de nuevas prospecciones arqueologicas. Las conclusiones permiten detectar una serie de tendencias, que ayudan a comprender mejor el patron de asentamiento de la poblacion en el transito entre epoca romana y epoca medieval, asi como obtener una vision global de las transformaciones acaecidas en el mundo rural de forma diacronica en un territorio intensamente marcado por su insularidad. Destaca la presencia antiguos yacimientos indigenas (cuevas y poblados en general de la Edad del Hierro) que fueron reocupados o que perduraron.

She co-directed or directed excavations in the building at the Ripoll street of Barcelona, the early Christian set of l’Illa del Rei (Mahon, Menorca) and the Roman villa at Sa Mesquida (Calvià, Mallorca). She is currently co-director of the excavations of the Roman and Late Antique city of Pollentia (Alcúdia, Mallorca).
- By (author) Catalina Mas Florit
‘Archaeology on the Balearic Islands has taken immense strides in the last two decades, led primarily by Miguel Angel Cau (including excavations at Pollentia), and with the present author now contributing strongly to new investigations and debates. This volume is part-based on her Barcelona University thesis of 2013, a subsequent postdoctoral project, and published and ongoing work on Mallorca. It offers a very informative and revealing image of rural settlement, land use and change across a long Late Antiquity (AD 300–903), with the end-date marking the full Arab conquest of this Byzantine enclave (after periods of raiding since the early 8th century).’ – Neil Christie (2022): Medieval Archaeology, 65/2, 2021
