Transcript: necessary to draw up integrating and interpretative proposals based on written sources and archaeological interventions -more excavations need to be carried out to better understand ‘dark ages’ Significance and contribution to the field: -collaboration of several archaeologists -presents an integrative summary of Early Medieval fortified sites in the Iberian Peninsula approach : -presents a number of case studies -analysed in systemic and integral terms from a social perspective Argument and use of evidence: -draws on the work of numerous academics and archaeological interventions Peña Amaya Critical Analysis Asturias Network of villages created from 8th c 2 types of fortifications : 1. Defensive systems in Cantabrian Mountains e.g. El Homón de Faro and El Muro 2. Castle that would form basic scheme for territorial planning in Astur Kingom. e.g. Curiel (Peñaferruz, Gijón) and castle of Gauzón Castilian Sector (Upper Ebro Valley) Few castles excavated Many first generations reused e.g Tedeja (Trespaderne Burgos) -Excavation focused on walled enclosure -Restored ‘first generation castle’ Mayor, García e Pacheco, 'A propósito de las fortificaciones lineales ástures de El Homón de Faro y el Muro', 'El Homón de Faro outer face of wall' pg 62 'Peña Amaya'. http://bucierovidasalvaje.blogspot.pt. 12 July 2011. 06 Jan. 2013 Miguel Ángel García Guiea, Excavaciones en Monte Cildá 'Terra Sigillata from Monte Cildá.
