Enrique Daza-PardoEl presente trabajo pretende acercarse al uso del ladrillo en construcción en el centro peninsular, a ambos lados del Sistema Central, a través del estudio de varios edificios construidos con una mampostería mixta particular denominada “aparejo encintado cajeado”. Tras el análisis de cada uno de los edificios reconocidos, este estudio pone de manifiesto que se trata de un grupo constructivo ciertamente homogéneo y cohesionado, orientado a la construcción de edificios de diversa tipología, no solo fortificaciones, donde los materiales empleados y las técnicas desarrolladas son similares entre sí en composición y métrica, cercanos a las formas toledanas altomedievales. Todo esto lleva a plantear que ha sido posibilitado por una acción foránea, pudiendo estar relacionado con un efímero proceso colonizador cordobés efectuado a finales del siglo X.

Journal Article
Este trabajo presenta dos hachas de hierro tardoantiguas inéditas depositadas en el Museo de Guadalajara que proceden de sendos hallazgos fortuitos realizados en el norte de la provincia. Ambos casos se adscriben a tipologías poco comunes en Hispania, ya que los paralelos más claros se encuentran fuera del ámbito peninsular. Dada su extremada rareza, su documentación y análisis proporciona tanto la ampliación del repertorio de elementos vinculados con el mundo militar tardorromano y altomedieval en el centro peninsular, como la movilidad y dispersión de tipos por toda Europa.

Raúl CatalánThe reuse of construction materials has been a consistent practice throughout the history of architecture, especially prevalent during periods of transition when it was preferred for its ability to simplify installation and reduce construction costs. This practice was particularly common in late Roman urban contexts, where construction materials, especially ashlar and sculptural elements, were abundant following the abandonment of temples and public buildings. However, there are occasions when the use of spolia, or reused materials, goes beyond simple material recycling. The reuse and display of certain pieces carry complex implications involving symbology, cultural appropriation, or collective memory exercises that convey messages through new buildings. In this paper, we focus on the unique case of Hispanic Christian architectural sculptures that were “recycled” in new buildings during the first centuries of Islamic domination of the Iberian Peninsula, specifically within places of worship. Through a general analysis and review of some examples, we aim to reflect on the motivations and intentionality behind the use of certain sculptural pieces and their placement in new buildings, which is not arbitrary.

Javier AlbarránEnrique Daza-PardoEl presente trabajo constituye una revisión sobre las huellas del ribāṭ en al-Andalus entre los siglos VIII y XI. Se ha realizado a través de un vaciado de fuentes documentales, fundamentalmente los diccionarios biográficos con información de ascetas y ulemas que practicaron tanto el ŷihād y el ribāṭ, y del análisis crítico de todos aquellos edificios que han sido considerados un lugar de “ribāṭ” en un momento de su historia, rastreando las posibilidades de definir –o descartar- un modelo arquitectónico determinado asociado a esa práctica. Por todo ello, la gran cantidad de información recopilada en ambas líneas ha sido reunida en una “geografía” del ribāṭ en al-Andalus, una base de datos espacial, que aporta contexto y una línea explicativa, y que permite su ampliación en futuros desarrollos de esta experiencia.
About Me
ENRIQUE DAZA-PARDO is an archaeologist and Lecturer/Assistant Professor of Medieval History at Universidad de Alcalá (Spain). He was previously Associate Lecturer/Adjunct Professor of Medieval History at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) from 2011 to 2025.
His research focuses on medieval architecture and construction, with an emphasis on fortified spaces, addressing issues related to settlement, territory, and medieval landscapes, as well as construction techniques from the perspective of architectural archaeology and construction history. He has published numerous contributions on these topics in leading national and international journals, collective monographs, and popular magazines. Among his most recent interventions and studies are those carried out on the Villel de Mesa Castle, the Old Town Hall of Ciempozuelos, the Buitrago de Lozoya Castle, the Parador de Oropesa, the Bishops' Castle of Sigüenza, and the Church of San Martín de Molina de Aragón.
