This volume explores the hidden past of Rioja Alavesa through a decade-long archaeological study at Torrentejo. Tracing transformations from Late Prehistory to the modern wine industry, it examines how landscapes are lived, remembered, and reshaped, offering critical insights into heritage and memory.
What lies beneath the landscapes of the La Rioja vineyards?
This book invites us to discover the deep history of a territory that we today associate with wine, tradition, and scenery. Through an ambitious archaeological and multidisciplinary investigation at the Torrentejo site, a team of specialists has followed the traces of the communities that, over more than five thousand years, shaped this land: from the earliest prehistoric settlements to the recent processes of wine industry industrialization. But this is not just a journey into the past. It is also a critical reflection on the present: on how we select, interpret, and transform landscapes to turn them into heritage.
Which memories are preserved and which are lost? What social and historical costs does the heritage-making of the territory entail?
A work that reveals the hidden layers of Rioja Alavesa, and that forces us to rethink how we inhabit, remember, and represent our landscapes.
