Descripción
Sumario:Research into Roman provincial organization is inseparable from the study of the evolution of provincial social structures. The authors incorporate this perspective into the landscape archaeological program, "Social Structure and Territory in Roman Iberia." The results of this program in two areas of the Iberian peninsula where mining was practiced intensively during the Roman period, Carthago Noua in the southeast and the peninsular northwest, demonstrate that the Romans took various approaches to social and territorial organization in order to maximize the productivity of mining operations and to adapt to changes in those operations.
