[ES]: La investigación en las villae ilustra la consolidación del control administrativo y económico de territorios marginales y al mismo tiempo, presenta interesantes contextos para comprender el colapso del control romano sobre el territorio y la aparición de realidades sociales alternativas. Desde 2018 hemos comenzado un nuevo de proyecto de investigación sobre el desarrollo del Alto Alentejo desde la conquista romana hasta el bajo imperio, en este caso presentamos algunas preguntas de investigación y resultados preliminares relacionados con las villae de este último periodo. Nuestro trabajo comprende el uso de métodos no-invasivos como prospección artefactual, reconstrucción fotogramétrica del paisaje, prospección geofísica mediante georradar y también diversas campañas de excavación. Haremos hincapié en dos villae con floruit de ocupación bajoimperial, Horta da Torre y Monte de São Francisco que focalizan nuestro estudio sobre el territorio rural en época tardía.
[EN]: The development of large, Roman-style villae have been seen as powerful illustrations of the consolidation of Roman administrative and economic control, even in supposed backwater territories in farflung areas of the Roman Empire. Their demise, moreover, sheds light on the collapse of Roman control and the appearance of new social realities. In this paper, we approach these research questions from the point of view of a new landscape archaeology project launched in 2018, researching North Alentejo (Portugal) from the Roman conquest to the Late Roman Empire. Our research, still work in progress, deploys non-destructive methods such as archaeological survey, landscape photogrammetric reconstruction, ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys and several excavation campaigns. Here, we preliminarily discuss the examples of Horta da Torre and Monte de São Francisco to illustrate the situation in this rural area in the Late Roman period.
Trabajo presentado al Congreso Internacional Las Villas Romanas Bajoimperiales de Hispania, celebrado en Palencia del 15 al 17 de noviembre de 2018.
