This paper focuses the question of the deserted medieval villages from the archaeological data: why where they abandoned? and why someones continue along the time? which ones are the reasons of their desertion? Where did their inhabitants go? The case of l’Esquerda, a little medieval town in Catalonia, deserted at the beginning of XIVth century because of feudal warfares is analysed here.

In the region of the Iberian Peninsula bordering on France, some inhabitants used to travel to find work abroad. Eventually this led to permanent emigration, resulting in the abandonment of many Pyrenean villages. This process, intensified by the Spanish Civil War, gave rise to two or three new migratory waves: the first one composed by those who exiled during the war itself; shortly after, the migration was enhanced both by the proximity of the frontier and by the effects of the guerrilla warfare and the Franco regime’s repression during the post-war period; finally, the last wave during the 1960s, linked to pure economic motivations. In this regard, the role of archaeology is paramount. The large number of abandoned or semi-inhabited villages have preserved many signs of this places’ life up to the 20th century. This study has several aspects: the archaeological study itself and the observation of the process of the collapse of a site; the analysis of the true reasons for abandonment, such as economic problems or socio-economic repression; understanding the informal networks, either social or political, in the Pyrenees and the transformations of the landscape linked to the abandonment of the villages. All this requires archaeological and historical research in order to see that, as we can observe by early signs, many such decisions were planned and not involuntary. Thus, the Pyrenees have become a large-scale open-air site with a multiplicity of abandoned villages. All in all, the systematic study of abandoned villages in the central and western Catalan Pyrenees can provide data on the real effects of economics, politics, social behaviors and ideologies during the 20th cent.
This paper analyses the results of the recent practice of peasant archaeology in Spain in relation to interventions carried out in Europe. The circumstances as well as some of the most significant results obtained from the archaeological study of villages in several sectors of the continent are studied. This is followed by the study of peasant archaeology in the north of Spain from a variety of viewpoints. To this end, we shall avail of a historiographic analysis to reveal the bases on which village archaeology has been built; a sociological analysis to help us understand the development of this archaeological practice within the framework of heritage management; and an historical analysis allowing us to understand the social transformations of landscape. Last of all, some of the main problems currently under study by specialists in this subject are discussed.1

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PEASANTRY IN THE EARLY MEDIEVAL AGE. REFLECTIONS AND PROPOSALS helena kirchner universitat autònoma de barcelona spain2020 •
The archaeology of the medieval peasantry in Spain and Europe has attracted renewed attention in recent decades. This article is an overview of the research carried out in the last 30 years into the peasantry and their cultivated areas in the early-medieval societies in the north of the Iberian Peninsula and al-Andalus. Special attention is paid to the interpretations archaeologists make of the archaeological record. Approaches from two distinct perspectives are analysed, these being the excavation of settlements, and the archaeology of agrarian spaces. Both approaches do not usually come together in the research. It is increasingly clear that the 8 th century was a turning point in the forms of peasant settlement and the creation of new cultivated areas. The consolidation of the migration in al-Andalus or the new forms of peasant settlement that arose from the end of the 7 th century in the north of the Peninsula were essential for the later urban development. This development is closely linked to the changes in the production of artefacts and tools, as well as how these were distributed (in markets increasingly controlled from the city) and the patterns of consumption by the population, both rural and urban. Ethnic origins and religion have little to do with this process. keywoRds Peasant archeology, Medieval Archaeology, Agrarian Archaeology, Al-Andalus. cAPITAlIA veRbA Archaeologia agricola, Archaeologia mediaevalis, Archaeologia agraria, Iberia Arabica.

Abandoned Villages. An Archaeological Approach to Studying Social and Landscape Transformations in the Pyrenees2018 •
The peninsular territory has a huge number of abandoned and uninhabited villages for reasons often related to economic reasons. The Pyrenees has been a space of big migratory currents since the nineteenth century. As a border territory, its inhabitants take advantage of the proximity of France and begin a trip for a job that, over time, stabilizes to become a definitive emigration. This involves the emptying of many Pyrenean villages. Indeed it is necessary to focus on the effects of the Spanish Civil War from which two or three new migratory waves begin: the exiled ones of the war; The movements due to the proximity of the border and the effects of the guerrillas and the Francoist repression during the post-war period; And a last wave during the 1960s, linked to economic reasons. At this regard, the role of archeology is fundamental. The large number of abandoned or semi-inhabited villages have kept intact many signs of life of the 20th century and earlier centuries. His study offers several opportunities, such as: the archaeological study itself and the observation of the reverse process of the collapse of a site; the analysis of the real reasons for abandonment, such as economic shortcomings or economic and social repression; understand the social and political networks in the Pyrenees; The transformations of the landscape linked to the abandonment of the villages. All this requires an archeological and historical research in order to know that, as we can observe by the first signs, many such decisions were planned and not involuntary. Thus the Pyrenees become a large-scale open-air site with the multiplicity of abandoned villages. All in all, the systematic study of abandoned villages in the central and western Catalan Pyrenees can provide data on the real effects of economics, politics, social behaviors and ideologies during the 20th century.

The investigation of currently inhabited villages of medieval origin: Agrarian archaeology in Asturias (Spain)Pablo Alonso González, Jesús Fernández Fernández, Margarita Fernández Mier, Begoña Hernández-Beloqui, José Antonio López Sáez
This paper presents the results of a series of studies conducted in two villages located in the region of Asturias, north of the Iberian Peninsula. These studies explore medieval settlements as well as agricultural and cattle farming activities in these villages, with a special focus on areas still inhabited today as well as surrounding productive spaces. An interdisciplinary methodology was used, which involves pollen and sedimentological analyses, physical and chemical soil analyses, and includes micromorphological studies and radiocarbon dating. These data are combined with the interpretation of stratigraphic information derived from archaeological excavations. The areas of study in the village of Vigaña comprise the necropolis and a nearby meadow, which provided a stratigraphic sequence from the Neolithic era to the present day, and are characterized by the continued significance of farming activities. In Villanueva, meanwhile, both village areas and productive spaces were excavated, which provided information from the Roman period, and revealed the existence of combined agricultural and farming activities since the early medieval era.
