| Sumario: | The arrival of Berber and Arabic clans in the Balearic Islands from the 10th century onwards led to the emergence of new kinds of settlements and agricultural areas. There is evidence for earlier Muslim expeditions and also for the pacts that these expeditionaries made with local population, but there is no trace of stable settlement until AD 902, when the occupation of the islands formally began. This article synthesises the archaeological evidence left by this process, and the information that may be obtained from an archaeological analysis of agricultural areas. |
