"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."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes:
"This present volume results from a symposium entitled 'The Origins
of Urbanization in Iberia' organized under the auspices of the
British Academy and held at the premises of the Academy in London on
the 24th and 25th February 1994"--Introd.
