Los perfiles sedimentarios del yacimiento arqueológico de Resa (Andosilla, Navarra) [The sedimentary profiles at the archaeological site of Resa (Andosilla, Navarre)]

Reconstrucción de los procesos ambientales y humanos en el valle del Ebro entre la Antigüedad y la Edad Media [Reconstruction of the environmental and human processes in the Ebro Valley between Ancient Times and the Middle Ages]

Abstract

The results of the geoarchaeological study of the sedimentary profiles at the Resa site are presented here, connecting them to the archaeological and documentary evidence available. The stratigraphic, sedimentological, elementary and mineralogical characterisation of the sedimentary deposits allows to trace a long chronological sequence which extends from probable occupation during the early Roman empire to the Late Middle Ages, with moments of significant transformation around the third century, during the Early Middle Ages, and in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, when the site was deserted.
