JOSÉ LUIS SIMON GARCÍAJosé María Moreno-NarganesThe development of transhumant livestock farming in the Iberian Peninsula from the Late Middle Ages onward is one of the most thoroughly studied aspects of economic history, as it laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Kingdom of Castile throughout the Early Modern period. In contrast, there is very little information about livestock activity in the earlier period of al-Andalus, the part of the peninsula under Islamic rule from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries. This lack of information is due to epistemological reasons, as the absence of written sources makes archaeological data on pastoralism highly elusive. Additionally, historiographical reasons have led to the belief that livestock farming played a secondary role in the Andalusi economy. Given the current state of research, this work is significant as it presents convincing archaeological evidence of Andalusi livestock farming as early as the 11th century, linked to rural communities where sheep herding for wool production was the primary activity.

También incluiremos algunas referencias a los resultados de la segunda campaña de excavaciones, que se ha desarrollado durante la fase de edición de la presente monografía durante el otoño de 2021, imprescindibles para la actualización de los argumentos y conclusiones que presentamos.

Understanding the origins and evolution of modern grapevine varieties in the Iberian Peninsula and western Europe necessitates an examination of the proportions of Vitis vinifera cultivars, their relationships with wild grapevine populations, and the utilization of seedless cultivars in al-Andalus. Employing morphometric studies, domestication indices, multivariate analysis, and Bayesian hypothesis testing, this study investigates several distinct seed types identified in materials from Roman and medieval deposits. These seeds exhibit a spectrum from highly domesticated to purely wild. Our findings reveal the predominance of Proles Occidentalis Negrul, and the presence of feral-like grapevines associated with Proles Euphratica. Additionally, we observe the continuous presence of wild grapevines related to Vitis sylvestris CC Gmelin throughout the studied period. Seeds exhibiting intermediate characteristics are documented, alongside the identification of “stenosperms”, suggesting anomalies in seed formation. Notably, the presence of Vitis vinifera raisins “stenospermocarpics” of the sultana type is suggested, potentially elucidating the absence of table grapes and raisins of the Proles Orientalis Negrul in the archaeological record, despite frequent mentions by medieval agronomy writers from al-Andalus.

JOSÉ LUIS SIMON GARCÍAEn este trabajo analizaremos el registro arqueológico que ha proporcionado la primera campaña de excavaciones en la alquería de La Graja (Higueruela, Albacete) durante el año 2020, a partir del cual pretendemos obtener datos que nos permitan aproximarnos al poblamiento andalusí en las comarcas sudorientales de La Mancha. La excavación arqueológica complementa la información aportada por las prospecciones realizadas en el territorio castral de Chinchilla en época andalusí y en el Corredor de Almansa, un área de secano donde se documenta durante el siglo XI una intensa ocupación articulada en un número considerable de alquerías (qurā) en llano. Dicha intervención nos ha permitido documentar una arquitectura doméstica modesta y funcional caracterizada por emplear los recursos del entorno (piedra, tierra y madera), sin elementos decorativos ni materiales elaborados como el ladrillo, y cuyos espacios carecen de la especialización funcional propia de las casas urbanas.

Javier Martínez JiménezJosé María Moreno-NarganesAbout Me
José María Moreno Narganes is a researcher specializing in medieval archaeology, with a focus on textile production and domestic economies in al-Andalus and the Maghreb. He holds a PhD from the University of Alicante (2024) under the supervision of Sonia Gutiérrez Lloret and Sophie Gilotte, following a master's degree at Université Lumière Lyon 2. His academic journey includes research stays at the Universidade do Algarve, the Campo Arqueológico de Mértola, and the Universidade de Évora, as well as a fellowship from the Jacques Berque Center (Rabat).
His doctoral thesis, "Working at Home: Spinning and Weaving Activities in the Domestic Space of al-Andalus", analyzed over 70 sites and offered a diachronic and holistic perspective on textile production. His postdoctoral research continues to explore the evolution of textile tools, the social and economic dynamics of the medieval Mediterranean, and the political transformations driven by Islamization. He is the director of the projects La Graja and Haches, focused on the study of Andalusi settlement patterns, and collaborates on the archaeological research of the Tolmo de Minateda.
Moreno Narganes has contributed to several high-profile international projects and has published extensively in renowned scientific journals. His work integrates sustainability and gender equality into historical research, offering interdisciplinary insights that connect the past to contemporary challenges.
