Overview

This important collection of essays presents the first survey in English of the archaeological and historical evidence for the development of urbanism in Iberia - evidence crucial for our understanding of the origin of ancient towns in Europe. The Iberian peninsula is a region of great potential for archaeological study, because of its key geographical position in south-western Europe and its rich and varied cultural background. These papers, by leading European scholars in the field, combine broad period-based syntheses of modern scholarship with specific examples from recent work at major sites. The volume contains Spanish summaries of all the papers.
