There has long been a strong collaboration between geologists and archaeologists, and the sub-field of geoarchaeology is well developed as a discipline in its own right. This book now bridges the gap between those fields and the geophysical technique of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), which allows for three-dimensional analysis of the ground to visualize both geological and archaeological materials. This method has the ability to produce images of the ground that display complex packages of materials, and allows researchers to integrate sedimentary units, soils and associated archaeological features in ways not possible using standard excavation techniques. The ability of GPR to visualize all these buried units can help archaeologists place ancient people within the landscapes and environments of their time, and understand their burial and preservation phenomena in three-dimensions. Readership: Advanced students in archaeology and geoarchaeology, as well as practicing archaeologists with an interest in GPS techniques.

Esta obra In Memoriam del Profesor Fernando Galván Freile titulada Imágenes de poder en la Edad Media se organiza en dos volúmenes. En el primero se compila parte de la abundante nómina de sus publicaciones personales a partir del año 1997, fecha en la que defendio su Tesis Doctoral, pues consideramos que, este hecho, es un hito especialmente relevante en la trayectoria cientifica de todo investigador. Ademas, aparece la relacion de aquellos estudios que elaboro en colaboracion y la de sus libros. El segundo tomo contiene una serie de escritos redactados para la ocasion por colegas y amigos, mas una Tabula gratulatoria

Between the end of Roman rule in the early fifth century and the Arab conquest in the eighth, Spain''s destiny lay with the Visigoths, a confederacy of different ethnic groups formed in the Balkans in the later fourth century. Taking account of important new documentary evidence and of the latest archaeological findings, the author presents a wealth of original theories, challenging many traditional assumptions about Visigothic Spain - about how the Visigothic kingdom was governed, law in the kingdom, the nature and methods of the Arab conquest, and the rise of Spain as an intellectual force in the West. The book falls into two parts: the first providing a chronological overview of political and military events; the second reviewing the evidence for social life and organization in Visigothic Spain. A historiographical introduction summarizes the current state of research on the history and archaeology of the period.
