La antigua población de Sabora, mencionada por Plinio, es conocida también a través de un documento epigráfico, remitido a los Saborenses por el emperador Vespasiano (CIL II 1423), que constata la autorización para el traslado de la ciudad, desde su emplazamiento prerromano en altura hacia una ubicación en llanura, más adecuada al desarrollo de las formas cívicas y los patrones urbanísticos romanos. Si la localización del oppidum primigenio en el municipio malagueño de Cañete la Real se sugiere gracias a la toponimia y la arqueología, no ha sido hasta hace muy poco tiempo, gracias a las exploraciones geofísicas, cuando se ha podido avanzar en la identificación del solar y los vestigios del municipio flavio de Sabora, nacido a raíz del beneplácito imperial, con los restos conservados en el yacimiento de El Carrascal. En esta contribución damos a conocer los datos de carácter urbanístico obtenidos sobre el asentamiento por nuestro equipo, mediante el empleo de un georradar multicanal, y ofrecemos una interpretación de los resultados, argumentando sobre el carácter urbano o villático de los vestigios documentados.

En los últimos años hemos emprendido diversas líneas de investigación que se centran en el estudio del territorio histórico, de su ocupación antigua, así como de los aprovechamientos y explotación de sus recursos, especialmente los relacionados con el agua. Hemos considerado que la provincia romana Hispania Ulterior Baetica configura un buen marco de trabajo, por constituir un objeto histórico coherente, bien delimitado en cuanto a espacio, procesos, cronologías, culturas y formaciones sociales se refiere. La historiografía andaluza por otra parte no ha desarrollado preferentemente estas líneas relativas a la abducción y conducción del agua y a los paisajes palustres y lacustres y, cuando lo ha hecho, ha primado el análisis estrictamente arqueológico frente al método histórico en general y a los del estudio del Paisaje Histórico en particular. Las nuevas líneas, perspectivas y temáticas de investigación por las cuales nos interesamos implicó en su día la decisión de adoptar la metodología propia de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica, como medio de ordenación, jerarquización, manipulación y análisis de la información histórica relativa al espacio Bético antiguo. Se presentan en este paper las diversas líneas temáticas de investigación desarrolladas en los últimos años en relación con el agua, el territorio y el paisaje.

Are unknown possible cases of land improvement through the techniques of agris siccandi in roman province Hispania Ulterior Baetica. This lack, rather than historical circumstances, seems to respond to the absence of references in the literary and epigraphic sources referring to the province and, therefore, a certain disinterest in the topic by the historiography. Various evidences allow us hypothesize that such practices could be applied in place of Laguna Seca and Llanos de Guerra (Puerto Real, Cádiz) and, therefore, cases of drainage and land improvement for productive use, occurred in Baetica as well as other territorial contexts of roman empire.

The study of the water supply to the cities within the Roman Empire is being tackled from varied perspectives, and this article raises some issues under-represented in our historiography, such as those relating to the process of rationalization in the Latin culture’s perception of water and hydrological knowledge. It discusses the casuistry that affected the various systems of water collection for the urban water supply system (illustrated by the imperial capital and projected to the provincial area). It also deals with the state of the Baetican physical environment in Antiquity and the knowledge of those who designed hydraulic works. It reflects on the best known capita aquarum in Baetica and the legal and political implications that could lead to its appropriation for affected communities. This article aims to expand the approaches from which these issues are being addressed currently by Hispanic research

The role of Baetis estuary is analysed as a factor of first urban networks articulation, and territorial connectivity in Antiquity. This approach brings us a greater understanding of the terrestrial communications origins between the urban centres of this area. Also it reflects the progressive historical reorientation of the communication routes, which has generated an actual perception of this geography and their access that are far different from the previous organization in the Protohistory.

One of the issues that arises in the research of provincial Roman towns from surface data is the determination of their perimeter. In fact, it is not always easy to distinguish the pomerium of the city from the constructions that were built in its surroundings, as is the case with the Flavian municipium of Balsa. The Roman city of Balsa, situated in southern Lusitania, has often been re‑ ferred as an important and extensive city, whose remains were largely destroyed by agricultural works. However, although excavations have been very limited and punctual and no systematic field research has ever taken place, attempts have been made to reconstruct this port city. With the project, “Balsa, Searching the Origins of Algarve”, we have tried, through non‑invasive geo‑ physical surveys and specific soundings, to clarify the dimension of its urban network and the degree of preservation of the ancient urbs, of which an extensive and rich remains from its necropolis and an interesting epigraphy are known. The results obtained have allowed us to verify that it was a much smaller city than previously thought, but with an important group of villae around it, which was frequently confused with the extension of its urban network.

Although the process of geophysical exploration with multichannel equipment uses interpolation as a mechanism to visualize the data, these results offer enough quality to achieve valid archaeological planimetry.
On the one hand, this cartography we generated, should be recognized by the academic community as having a similar value to traditional excavation. On the other hand, it should not be directly related to high-quality discovery, -Virtual Archaeology- but to non-invasive, or non-destructive research. The goal is to get as close as possible to the representation of archaeological reality, without visual modification motived by the desire to obtain a more attractive result,

Since 2016 our team has been developing non-invasive research methodologies applied to the study of large archaeological areas corresponding to ancient cities in Roman Hispania. The Roman colonies of
Hasta Regia (Mesas de Asta, Jerez de la Frontera), Ilici (La Alcudia, Elche) and Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete), and the Latin municipalities of Balsa (Luz de Tavira, Faro), Arva (Alcolea del Río) and Calduba (La Perdiz, Arcos de la Frontera) located in the Roman provinces of Baetica, Tarraconensis and Lusitania have been used as case studies presented in this paper (Figure 1). The cities in this each differ, offering a wide variety in terms of their topography, geography, current uses, and states of archaeological intervention and conservation. Furthermore, research at each of them has been approached with due consideration to these particular conditions, while experimenting with the workflow that was considered more appropriate to develop the non-invasive research and ensure the best results. This paper discusses the different conditions and problems during the entire research process and the strategies applied, as well as the most relevant results in each case study as part of the conclusions from this experience. The
main techniques and tools used during this work have been Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), groundpenetrating
radar (GPR), magnetometry, photogrammetry and terrestrial Lidar. Due to the number of
sites studied, the period of the studies, the nature of the surfaces analysed, and the diversity of situations,
this research experience is unique among other Spanish teams specialising in non-invasive techniques.

This article observes the main trends in GPR research through a bibliometric analysis of a large corpus of contributions published between 1996 and 2021. This review aims to identify the scope of a flourishing methodology that has changed with technological advances and improvements.
GPR research is at a similar development stage to other geophysical analysis techniques. Among archaeologists and historians interested in applying new techniques, the use of GPR has emerged as a critical tool to review historical themes. Covering from a new perspective with possibilities of success to the extent that there is active collaboration with experts who bring to the research experience an appropriate multidisciplinary prism. This allowed us to highlight positive experiences and errors that help us improve and move forward. This article is presented in two distinct but ultimately complementary parts. First, bibliometric analysis of the use of GPR in archaeology is addressed based on Publish or Perish Software. Second, we narrow the discussion using GPR results applied to rural/urban archaeological contexts from Roman times and how they can contribute to the knowledge of past societies, being an essential resource for understanding the historical expression of the occupation, management, and uses of the territory and landscape.

El yacimiento romano de La Rana se sitúa en el extremo de poniente del valle de Sant Bertomeu o de Xàbia, a unos 1000 metros al nordeste del pueblo de Gata de Gorgos (Alicante). En este lugar, que se englobaría dentro del territorium de la antigua Dianium, se localizaron en los años 80 materiales cerámicos que evidenciaron la existencia de un centro de producción alfarera de época altoimperial (Bolufer Marqués, Banyos 1995). Con el objetivo de caracterizar sus estructuras, su producción cerámica y su secuencia estratigráfica, en el año 2017, se inició un proyecto de investigación arqueológica. Una de las primeras actuaciones fue la realización de una prospección geofísica por parte de un equipo de la Universidad de Cádiz, que permitió conocer el potencial del asentamiento y mejorar la planificación de las tareas de excavación arqueológica, localizando las áreas de mayor concentración cerámica y de posibles estructuras. Aunque el proyecto se encuentra en su fase inicial, la realización de la primera campaña de excavación nos ha permitido avanzar en la caracterización de la producción que tuvo lugar en esta figlina altoimperial. Los descartes de horno y el resto de materiales hallados vienen a confirmar la información obtenida a partir de las prospecciones, atestiguando la elaboración de un amplio repertorio formal de cerámica común y materiales de construcción, junto a la producción de ánforas de base plana y, posiblemente, de ánforas Dressel 2-4.Este trabajo ha sido llevado a cabo en el marco de los proyectos de I+D HAR2015-65168-P, HAR2015-68554-P y HAR2015-64601-C3-2-R del MINECO y GRE16-03 de la Universidad de Alicante

We present a case study through the combined application of non‑invasive research techniques on the Roman rural site of Miramundo (Puerto Real, Cádiz). The results of the geophysical prospection with multichannel georadar are offered for the definition of the archaeological structure discovered, together with the results of a surface micro‑prospection with centimeter GPS over the location area of this Roman imperial building. The main objective is to advance, through the combination of both techniques, in the formulation of functional hypotheses about the documented constructive spaces, as part of the methodological development of Non‑Invasive Historical‑Archaeological Research.

The aims of the present work is to inform in two GPR geophysical surveys carried out in the subsoil of two Andalusian Renaissance churches
with a bifrequency georradar GPR equipment, which have allowed to determine the existence of events possibly associated to the Christian
burial world and modern/contemporary modifications. The detection in both churches of elements such as crypts and individual burials,
as well as their disposition and location within the priority spaces of the period, confirm the effectiveness of the application of non‑invasive
research techniques in the study of the building substrate in this type of construction. The work has also managed to identify possible structural
reinforcements of pillars, extension works and/or modifications possibly undertaken in modern times, all of which are underground.
The results of the geophysics of both cases allow us to conclude that there are multiple constructive similarities following their chronological
parity and with the transformations that are carried out in the churches in modern times, a product of the customs and rites of the
Christian world and the policies of rationalization of space.
At the same time, the research has allowed a significant improvement in the establishment of the methodology for obtaining GPR data inside
religious buildings, with the use of relative georeference systems and other auxiliary means. Consequently, the optimal performances, the
appropriate GPR data densities for the correct obtaining of results and the advantages of the use of a bifrequency GPR system 200 MHz ‑
600 MHz are defined.

El territorium de la colonia romana Hasta Regia se extiende entre la divisoria de aguas de la cuenca del Guadalquivir y las orillas del antiguo Lacus Ligustinus en la provincia de Baetica. Este territorio, caracterizado por su feraz campiña, su condición ribereña, y surcado por numerosos esteros, como describía Estrabón, conoció una intensa explotación agrícola, destacando la producción y la exportación de derivados vitivinícolas en ánforas de la familia Dressel 1 y Haltern 70. La aplicación de técnicas de análisis GIS combinadas con prospección geofísica con georradar nos permite proponer nuevas claves del ordenamiento de este espacio, conocido hasta la fecha mediante prospecciones superficiales tradicionales. Se analiza la distribución del sistema de villae en un espacio presuntamente centuriado. Igualmente, se identifican y analizan los alfares productores de ánforas destinadas a la distribución de los productos hastenses. La exploración de la urbs con georradar Stream X permite reflexionar sobre la aplicación metodológica de nuevas técnicas al estudio no invasivo del territorio urbano y productivo de la ciudad romana.

Con este libro nos hemos propuesto acercarnos al mundo de las almadrabas tomando como referencia tres conceptos: recursos naturales, paisajes y sociedades. La roturación de los espacios marismeños para la creación de salinas y la producción de sal debían, en principio, responder a la demanda generada en las almadrabas cada temporada de pesca. Este proceso se intensificó entre el último cuarto del siglo xv y las primeras décadas del xvi. El atún o la sal no solo fueron consumidos por una población siempre en aumento, sino que estos productos formaron parte de las actividades comerciales. La red de mercaderes interconectados instalados en este entorno dinamizaba las vías que discurrían desde el Mediterráneo al Atlántico y desde el Mar del Norte a Berbería. La conexión, por tanto, es evidente: de un recurso natural a su aprovechamiento por una sociedad, pasando, evidentemente, por la organización de un paisaje característico. El paisaje actual se parece muy poco al de finales del siglo xv. Las investigaciones geo-arqueológicas, los dibujos y grabados flamencos del siglo xvi, la cartografía existente desde finales del siglo xvii, las descripciones de los cronistas locales o la documentación de archivo, han sido claves para reconstituir este espacio a partir de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica.

El concepto riparia se focaliza sobre la singular fragilidad de los medios naturales de contacto entre los ecosistemas acuáticos y terrestres, cuya inestabilidad les convierte en excelentes indicadores del cambio cuando éstos se producen. El concepto es adoptado por la Historia, para estudiar desde una perspectiva amplia la relación del hombre con todo tipo de humedales y ecosistemas, lacustres y palustres, litorales o continentales, y para analizar las consecuencias de esta interacción. Un enfoque que no hace sino contribuir a una larga tradición de estudios históricos sobre el paisaje natural y el territorio cultural. Estos planteamientos se relacionan también con algunas de nuestras inquietudes como historiadores, como la reflexión sobre la función y el sentido de lo estudios históricos en los tiempos actuales. Las perspectivas y las temáticas adoptadas por nosotros en el proyecto Riparia: conceptualización histórica y cultural, función territorial y aprovechamiento de los humedales en la Bética romana (MINECO-HAR 2012-36008) se encuentran en consonancia con algunos de los retos sociales establecidos en el marco del Horizonte 2020, especialmente con la Acción por el clima, eficiencia de recursos y materias primas y, no siendo lógicamente la única, constituye una vía para una mayor aproximación entre el trabajo del historiador y las necesidades de la sociedad contemporánea. En este segundo monográfico se presentan nuevas aportaciones derivadas de las investigaciones desarrolladas por el equipo en el marco del proyecto desde perspectivas pioneras en la historiografía andaluza.

General La Dressel 11 es un ánfora habitualmente mal definida que, debido a su carácter de " forma de transición " entre las Dressel 10 tardías y las primeras Beltrán IIB, presenta bastantes características comunes con estos dos tipos, de los que, no obstante, es posible distinguirla. Se trata de una variante " evolucionada " dentro del grupo de las Dressel 7-11, muy similar morfológicamente a las Dressel 10 tardías con las que comparte la boca amplia y moldurada, las asas altas –aunque más pegadas al cuello y de perfil menos curvado-y el cuello alto y cilíndrico. El cuerpo, sin embargo, está más cercano al de las Beltrán IIB que al de las Dressel 10, puesto que, aunque es bastante masivo, ha perdido ya el perfil ovoide característico de éstas últimas para, ensanchándose en el tercio inferior, presentar el aspecto " piriforme " que resulta propio de las Beltrán IIB. Se distingue, no obstante, de éstas últimas porque sigue marcando claramente en la mayoría de los casos la moldura inferior del borde y la ruptura de línea entre el cuello y los hombros del recipiente, una unión que en las Beltrán IIB se presenta bastante suavizada y " redondeada ". El pivote cilíndrico, alto y hueco de las Dressel 11 es similar al de las Beltrán IIB. El cuello es más marcadamente cilíndrico y el borde mantiene, como se ha dicho, claramente marcada la moldura inferior que lo separa del cuello, un detalle reducido en las Beltrán IIB antiguas apenas a una línea tenue y que se encuentra ya ausente en las más evolucionadas, en las que la transición entre el borde y el cuello se hace sin solución de continuidad (García Vargas 1998, 99-100).

Este trabajo aborda el estudio de la antigua industria pesquera peninsular, desde sus inicios en época prerromana, como actividad destinada a la generación de productos susceptibles de constituirse como bienes de comercio, hasta la Antigüedad Tardía, con una especial atención a su desarrollo durante la romanidad.

This nook studies ancient peninsular fishing industry from its beginnings in pre-Roman time -when it was an activity dedicated to the generation of products susceptible of becoming trade goods- until Late Antiquity, placing special emphasis on its development during Romanity.
The applied analysis helps a better understanding of several aspects connected to this Hispanic industry: origins, historical evolution, localisation and geographic conditions; internal organisation, relationship to the political, administrative and fiscal structure of the Empire; property, management and production relationships, within factorial environment; connections with fishing, saltmines, artisan and rural world.
The research is based on the fusion and revision of the highest possible number of historical and historiographic testimonies about canning industry in Hispania. Among the former literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources have been consulted. Much attention has been also paid to the architectural and material remains of the fishing industry, as well as to pottery an industry devoted to the supply of ceramic containers used in the diffusion and trade of the resulting products.
A synthesis and updated revision of the hypotheses outlined by historiography has allowed, not only a suitable approach to previous research, but also an advance in the proposals of historical interpretation for a better understanding of the development of the mentioned economic activities.
The drawn conclusions offer a wide scope a wide scope of these activities both from a diachronic perspective, and regarding the structural transformations which peninsular industry faces throughout the historical events of Antiquity.

How was the ancient Roman economy organized and how can our understanding be enhanced by new theoretical and methodological approaches? Recent work on model building, complex network analysis and computer simulation technologies has integrated and analysed diverse data sets – literary sources, settlement evidence, ceramics, amphorae, epigraphy, ethnographical data – in order to reassess production, marketing and consumption across the Roman world. Examples include the Monte Testaccio Project (Baetican oil), the Cella Vinaria Project (Laetanian wine) and the Riparia Project (Baetican wine), as well as many other collaborative research initiatives around the Mediterranean and wider Roman world.
The principal objective of this session is to explore how quantitative methods and semantic-based data management techniques can improve our ability to define, validate or refute economic theories about the organisation of large-scale production and long-distance exchange of foodstuffs. We wish, in particular, to facilitate interdisciplinary discussion about how we can evaluate the role of the state versus the free market in food supply and to assess how the multiple production strategies of a mixed agricultural economy (fruits, vegetables, wheat, olive oil, wine, salted fish, garum, etc.) were integrated within specific territories and largely peasant-based economies. We are also interested in the interactions between economy and environmental variables, the theoretical limits imposed on production and productivity by arable and pastoral regimes, labour and production costs, etc. and on the relationship between production and consumption in the context of growing population.
The session will use the presentation of case studies to demonstrate various multidisciplinary methods and techniques for the analysis of complex economic systems, integrating conventional archaeological methods and landscape archaeology with econometrics and computational modelling.
We would like to invite papers that develop case studies addressing some of following:
Datasets: the representation of archaeological data; database management; ontology and semantic markers
Quantitative methods: GIS and spatial analysis of settlement patterns, production strategies, microeconomic studies, demand and supply, trade routes, markets, and consumption trends
Model building and computer simulation: the use of Agent Based Models, Complex Networks Analysis, Predictive Modelling, Spatial Econometrics and Regression Analysis

The Faculty of Archaeology of Leiden University hosts an international conference on the archaeology of the Roman period in Portugal and its place in the Roman West. The conference brings together archaeologists and ancient historians from different academic backgrounds who are working in the Iberian peninsula and the wider Western Mediterranean. It aims to present new data and insights from various fields and approaches, and to discuss their significance for our understanding of Roman expansion and colonialism.
Five sessions revolve around new insights from landscape archaeological projects, developments in the economy, the process of military expansion, processes of centralization and urbanization, and the ritual and religious sphere. A key goal of the conference is to discuss how the Portuguese panorama compares to other areas in the Iberian peninsula, and to foreground its contribution to current debates about Roman expansion and incorporation in the Central and Western Mediterranean.
With a view to assess the potential of integrating best practices in archaeological approaches and methodology, different national and disciplinary research traditions and historical frameworks will be explicitly discussed. As such, the conference aims to explore ways to collaborate more closely between various Mediterranean areas and research projects, and to develop a shared research agenda.

La prospección arqueológica es uno de los métodos básicos de la investigación del territorio que, de la mano del reciente salto tecnológico, ha cambiado radicalmente el panorama de los análisis del poblamiento antiguo. El desarrollo de las investigaciones geofísicas con el georradar multicanal (GPR), junto a otros avances instrumentales y metodológicos, vinculados a la incorporación del GPS, los GIS, o los LiDAR, entre otros, han supuesto una revolución para el impulso de los análisis de territorios históricos, especialmente en la Antigüedad. Este trabajo, por tanto, pretende plantear algunos de los más recientes resultados, fruto de la aplicación de estas nuevas metodologías, pero mirando hacia atrás, reconociendo el trabajo de algunos de los precursores de los análisis territoriales en el ámbito hispánico, destacando el sentido económico e histórico profundo de alguno de esos primeros planes de prospección. Y en ese ámbito original de la investigación, como en tantos otros, encontramos la gura de J. Remesal Rodríguez y de los análisis de los espacios béticos de producción anfórica, de la investigación de las glinae del Guadalquivir, origen del proceso de comercialización del aceite de la Bética de época imperial.

Análisis dirigido a la valoración de los potenciales usos agrarios y, en especial, de la práctica de la viticultura sobre los ambientes lagunares que puedan atestiguarse en la documentación literaria, con el objetivo de detectar otras posibles representaciones sociales, menos visibles, de las riberas en la cultura clásica. Se plantea la potencial contradicción entre la representación social del humedal y la realidad habitacional y productiva de los entornos lacustres, profundizando en la justificación teórica que la intelectualidad antigua empleó para explicar la nocividad de los ambientes palustres, cuestionándonos la relación entre insalubritas y fecunditas en estos espacios.

Lucius Iunius Moderatus Columella praises in his book the Res Rustica, the work done by his paternal uncle Marcus Columella, who is vir illustribus disciplinis eruditus ac diligentissimus agricola Baeticae provinciae, especially interested in vineyard production. As both uncle and nephew were citizens of Gades, we could locate these fields in the interfluve between Guadalquivir and Guadalete River, a land dominated by three important cities, Gades, Hasta Regia and Asido Caesarina. Columella wrote about special land conditions because of the good management effected by his uncle in his agricultural holding and other general considerations about Betic province. Comparing this data clues included in Columella’s book, with actual land characteristic, information of others ancient agriculture treatise and archaeological knowledge, using GIS spatial analysis, allow us the possibility to reconstruct rural areas and exploitation units, in order to discriminate part of the rural land ordination and propose where the Marcus Columella’s vineyards could be located.

This session intends to bring together scholars, researchers and working archaeologists to publicise and discuss landscape archaeology topics and research that affect the broad vision of space-site interaction adapted to coastal, intertidal and riverine contexts from novel methodological or theoretical approaches. Examining questions about the human past drives researchers to the most challenging questions when covering landscape interaction. More specifically, entanglement between human and environment have been evidenced by 'Anthropocene' episodes directly affecting population mobility, migration and structural changes, particularly in coastal, intertidal, and riverine areas. This relationship generated a learning process in the decision-making of settlements and abandonment of areas triggered occasionally by environmental causes, and subsequent forms of resilience or adaptation (social, economic and political consequences). With this session, our aim is to delve into the question of whether and how historical responses at the micro-scale (site level) might interrelate with the variations observed on a broader, regional scale in a dynamic riverine-coastal environment, without presupposing determinism. The study of coasts, intertidal areas and management of rivers basin has received considerable attention in the last decade, primarily due to the increasing availability of non-invasive technology required to access archaeological sites in spaces that occupy vast unexplored extensions. This context has enabled the discipline to blossom, primarily through geoarchaeological and remote sensing methodologies. Following this, the proposed session sees the study of landscape archaeology, including inter and multidisciplinary research, as crucial to understanding game-changing historical responses to climate change, periods of crisis or flourishing, and strategies of adaptation to challenging environments.

Session 355
The River Basin and Estuaries in the Antiquity: Environment and Settlement
This session focuses on the river basin and estuaries as a geographical unit of reference, already perceived by classical cultures, a space currently revalued as a critical unit for the management of the environment and water resources, especially in contexts of climate change. This session proposal for the Belfast 2023 EAA focuses on two main perspectives, the first of which is of a theoretical and conceptual nature, centred on the analysis of the perception, function, representation and conceptualisation of river basins and estuaries in Greco-Latin thought and its subsequent evolution. The investigation of their potential as a well-defined geographical space with specific territorial and legal problems, defined in classical sources, is a novel proposal in the national and European research panorama. The second perspective, of a practical nature, focuses on case studies representative of these contexts and can show historical problems linked to their occupation by past societies. The aim is to create a forum for discussion of case studies that show interconnected problems, preferably related to the characteristics and conditions of each of these environmentsriver basins and estuaries-which are always affected by the anthropic actions caused by practices in the field. Thus, issues such as population occupation strategies and their conditioning, economic exploitation, crops, forestation and deforestation processes, adaptation to the environment and resilient attitudes in adverse circumstances, water management, or practices in the face of phenomena such as floods, erosion and alterations to riverbeds, or sedimentation and geomorphological changes, are some of the topics that will be addressed in this session. Special attention will be given to the methodology applied to these archaeological contexts, where priority will be given to the use of novel research techniques, such as non-invasive methods, which have proven to be highly effective in recent years.

The first example of city planning in Western Europe is located in Cádiz (Spain) where the Phoenician colony of Gadir was founded. The city was interested in a long urbanisation process until Roman times.
Several historical settlements, with industrial and commercial function, integrated the territory of Cádiz bay, as well as other life and burial places like the inland settlement of Castillo de Doña Blanca. This population process was adapted to the marine landscape of the Bay, while itself caused the urban transformation of the coastal environment of the medieval Cádiz Bay.
Since 2016 our research team has carried out a non-invasive study with the aim of safeguarding the historic environment and advancing the research on the urban development. In this paper we show the results of the GPR surveys conducted in La Martela, the Punic harbour of Castillo de Doña Blanca. This is a Phoenician settlement known thanks to excavations carried out between 1979 and 2001 and the non-invasive investigations conducted by our team, consisting of aerial and land photogrammetry and geophysics surveys (with single and multi-antenna GPR system).
La Martela is located on the floodplain, at the foot of the Phoenician settlement of Castillo de Doña Blanca, in a zone where there were no archaeological remains. A 6 hectares survey area was covered with the GPR multichannel Stream X system, thus leading to the discovery of an archaeological site of short-term phase. The orthogonal layout and the building types, with the elongated rooms of the Phoenician and Punic 'warehouse' type, are a clue to date its last construction phase to the 3rd century BC.
In this communication we present the proposed workflow for optimising the results of large area multi-channel GPR surveys to obtain accurate urban cartography, enhancing the value of this method as a research source.
Although geophysical techniques use interpolation as a mechanism to visualise data, these results provide enough quality to map underground structures of archaeological interest with precision. Ultimately, the floor plans obtained through geophysical techniques should be considered as valid as the ones derived from a traditional survey of excavated archaeological remains.

Since 2016 our team has been developing non-invasive research methodologies applied to the study of large archaeological areas corresponding to ancient cities in Roman Hispania. In this paper we present the case studies represented by the Roman colonies of Hasta Regia (Mesas de Asta, Jerez de la Frontera), Ilici (La Alcudia, Elche) and Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete), and the Latin municipalities of Balsa (Luz de Tavira, Tavira), Arva (Alcolea del Río) and Calduba (La Perdiz, Arcos de la Frontera) located in the Roman provinces of Betica, Tarraconensis and Lusitania. These cities are different from each other and offer a wide variety of examples in terms of topography, geography, current land use, state of preservation and archaeological intervention. Therefore, research on each site was approached by considering its peculiarities. We have always experimented with the most appropriate investigation methodologies, mainly consisting in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), magnetometer and terrestrial Lidar. The present paper discusses the different issues encountered during the entire research process and the strategies applied, as well as the most relevant results for each case study as part of the conclusions of this experience. The large number of study sites, the length of the research period, the nature of the surfaces analysed and the diversity of situations make this research experience unique among the non-invasive investigations conducted so far in Spain.

El yacimiento romano de La Rana se sitúa en el extremo de poniente del valle de Sant Bertomeu o de Xàbia, a unos 1000 metros al nordeste del pueblo de Gata de Gorgos (Alicante). En este lugar, que se englobaría dentro del territorium de la antigua Dianium, se localizaron en los años 80 materiales cerámicos que evidenciaron la existencia de un centro de producción alfarera de época altoimperial (Bolufer Marqués, Banyos 1995). Con el objetivo de caracterizar sus estructuras, su producción cerámica y su secuencia estratigráfica, en el año 2017, se inició un proyecto de investigación arqueológica. Una de las primeras actuaciones fue la realización de una prospección geofísica por parte de un equipo de la Universidad de Cádiz, que permitió conocer el potencial del asentamiento y mejorar la planificación de las tareas de excavación arqueológica, localizando las áreas de mayor concentración cerámica y de posibles estructuras. Aunque el proyecto se encuentra en su fase inicial, la realización de la primera campaña de excavación nos ha permitido avanzar en la caracterización de la producción que tuvo lugar en esta figlina altoimperial. Los descartes de horno y el resto de materiales hallados vienen a confirmar la información obtenida a partir de las prospecciones, atestiguando la elaboración de un amplio repertorio formal de cerámica común y materiales de construcción, junto a la producción de ánforas de base plana y, posiblemente, de ánforas Dressel 2-4.
