- Arqueología del paisaje en la alta montaña. Una primera aproximación al estudio de las ocupaciones ganaderas de época medieval en el Parque Nacional de Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici (Pirineo Occidental de Cataluña)(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2022) Costa-Badia, X. (Xavier); Gassiot-Ballbè, E. (Ermengol); Garcia-Casas, D. (David); Rodríguez-Antón, D. (David)This article is focused on the medieval archaeological sites recorded in the Aigüestor tes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, located in the western Catalan Pyrenees. The archaeological analysis combined with palaeoenvironmental studies are used to discuss the historical role of seasonal livestock farming in the high mountain valleys of the Pyrenees. The goal is showing how this activity, combined with agriculture, structured the territory and modified the landscape. It also presents some hypotheses to contextualise the archaeological record within the historical knowledge of the region. In shor t, it highlights the value of the archaeological study of high mountain areas for research into pastoralism in medieval times and the origins of transhumance.
- La cartografía digital como herramienta dinámica e integrativa para el estudio del poblamiento medieval. La propuesta metodológica del proyecto «Muntanya Viva»(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2022) Sancho-i-Planas, M. (Marta); Costa-Badia, X. (Xavier)This paper, of a decidedly methodological nature, offers a detailed approach to the historical-archaeological information system designed from the Muntanya Viva research project for studying the medieval settlement in the Pallars Jussà region between the 4th and 12th centuries. It is a relational data model that allows the integration of all available information –whether it comes from written or archaeological sources– and its subsequent representation in a digital cartography through a Geographic Information System (GIS). All this aims to analyse synchronically the relationship between the different elements that made up the landscape at a specific moment, as well as its evolution diachronically over time.
