Beskrivning
Productive and Social Practices in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Earthen Building presents new perspectives on one of the most widespread yet historically undervalued forms of construction. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers, the volume explores the production, use and social significance of earthen architecture across a wide range of prehistoric and protohistoric contexts.Drawing on evidence from the Mediterranean, Europe, the Near East and South America, the chapters examine construction techniques, architectural traditions, domestic and monumental structures, and adopt approaches including experimental reconstruction and the application of advanced archaeometric and micromorphological techniques. Together, they reveal how earthen buildings provide unique insights into technological innovation, cultural interaction, collective labour and the organisation of past communities.The volume also considers the continuing relevance of earthen building traditions within contemporary debates on heritage management and sustainable construction, demonstrating the enduring value of these ancient practices in addressing modern challenges.

Mer om författaren

María Pastor Quiles is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Alicante, focused on earth construction techniques in the late prehistoric Iberian Peninsula. She has also carried out research on the various uses of mud in domestic contexts, being broadly interested in the study of materials, production processes, technology, ethnoarchaeology, and experimental archaeology.Lucía Ruano Posada is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lisbon, focused on the archaeology of domestic construction during late prehistory, specifically examining the technical processes of earthen building and the functional organisation of household spaces.Alejandra Sánchez-Polo is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Valladolid whose work is defi ned by a multi-disciplinary approach that combines documentary sources, archaeological analysis, and cutting-edge geoarchaeological techniques. With a particular focus on domestic architecture, her research explores construction practices, material choices, and ritual practices in the Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Iberia.Marta Mateu Sagués is an archaeologist and director of the Sant Jaume excavations. Currently, she is a GRAP collaborator (University of Barcelona), and an affiliated researcher at the ICAC. Having completed several postdoctoral fellowships, including in Mexico, she specialises in micromorphology and earthen architecture. Her research explores protohistoric domestic spaces and construction techniques, notably through the MICRODOM project, applying micromorphological analysis to northwestern Mediterranean settlements. She actively promotes academic dissemination.
