Abstract

This paper presents the results of geophysical surveys conducted within two castles in central Iberia: the fortifications of Molina de Aragón and Atienza, both located within the modern province of Guadalajara in Spain. They represent essential case studies for understanding the transformations of the frontier societies of medieval south-western Europe, because both were founded during the Andalusi period, both played a fundamental role at the time of the military confrontations between opposing Islamic and Christian states, and both became capitals within the feudal dependencies of the Crown of Castile during the Late Middle Ages. At present, these castles are uninhabited and protected archaeological sites, with no modern developments within their wards; the adjacent towns have developed on the outskirts of their outer walls. Although both castles have been the focus of uneven amounts of archaeological research, geophysical surveys, the first conducted at these sites, have proved to be a fundamental tool not only for planning future archaeological investigations but also for the data that they have provided on the potential roles of these castle wards.

中世纪伊比利亚边境的地球物理测量:Molina de Aragón和Atienza城堡(西班牙瓜达拉哈拉)
本文介绍了在伊比利亚中部的两座城堡内进行的地球物理调查的结果:莫利纳德Aragón和阿蒂恩扎的防御工事,都位于西班牙瓜达拉哈拉的现代省。它们代表了理解中世纪西南欧洲边疆社会转型的重要案例研究,因为它们都是在安达卢西时期建立的,都在伊斯兰和基督教国家对立的军事对抗时期发挥了重要作用,都在中世纪晚期成为卡斯蒂利亚王国封建附庸的首都。目前,这些城堡是无人居住和受保护的考古遗址,在其管辖范围内没有现代发展;邻近的城镇在城墙外围发展起来。虽然这两座城堡一直是考古研究的重点,但在这些地点进行的第一次地球物理调查已被证明是一种基本工具,不仅可以规划未来的考古调查,而且还可以提供有关这些城堡区潜在作用的数据。

期刊介绍: The scope of the Journal will be international, covering urban, rural and marine environments and the full range of underlying geology. The Journal will contain articles relating to the use of a wide range of propecting techniques, including remote sensing (airborne and satellite), geophysical (e.g. resistivity, magnetometry) and geochemical (e.g. organic markers, soil phosphate). Reports and field evaluations of new techniques will be welcomed. Contributions will be encouraged on the application of relevant software, including G.I.S. analysis, to the data derived from prospection techniques and cartographic analysis of early maps. Reports on integrated site evaluations and follow-up site investigations will be particularly encouraged. The Journal will welcome contributions, in the form of short (field) reports, on the application of prospection techniques in support of comprehensive land-use studies. The Journal will, as appropriate, contain book reviews, conference and meeting reviews, and software evaluation. All papers will be subjected to peer review.
