The Iberian peninsula has a particular archaeology within Europe. In the Middle Ages Christians, Muslims and Jews coexisted in towns and in the countryside. But the country was divided between the Christian kingdoms in the north and Muslim al-Andalus in the south. Both areas changed in many ways as the Christians gradually expanded their territory and were finally victorious in 1492. This book focuses on differences and similarities as well as the interchanges between the cultures which produced much of the heritage of present-day Spain.
This book is the first modern survey in English of medieval archaeology in Spain, and it reveals the extraordinary development of Spanish archaeological work after the creation of regional governments (Comunidades Autónomas) in the 1980s.

Descripción
Since 1985, Spanish archaeology has radically improved its organisation and effectiveness, supported by law and the transfer of powers to deal with archaeology from central to regional governments. There have been many excavations on development sites in towns and the countryside, but also new studies of rural landscapes and monuments. As in other European countries, this has produced a mountain of as yet undigested information about the history and archaeology of this fascinating country over four centuries. Now two Spanish archaeologists, aided by a large number of colleagues in Spain, France, Germany and Britain, have produced the first survey in either English or Spanish of the last 30 years of investigations, new discoveries and new theories. Chapters deal with the rural and urban habitat, daily life, trade and technology, castles and fortifications, the display of secular power and all three religions of medieval Spain: Islam, Christianity and Judaism. This is a major contribution to the archaeology of medieval Europe and a handbook for archaeologists and travelers.
