Abstract
Este trabajo presenta una propuesta metodológica para el estudio interdisciplinar de las transformaciones recientes de la arquitectura doméstica en zonas rurales del estado español. Las casas constituyen un repositorio clave en las biografías y la memoria cultural de las comunidades que habitan estos territorios, funcionando como dispositivos destacados en la configuración de las identidades personales, familiares y comunitarias. Por ello, son un elemento adecuado para estudiar arqueológicamente las transformaciones sociales y productivas que atraviesan el medio rural del estado español. De hecho, el espacio construido es uno de los dispositivos más reconocibles en la articulación de estos procesos de cambio en la cotidianeidad de las comunidades rurales, donde la materialidad de los espacios domésticos juega un papel clave. La investigación aborda dos casos de estudio localizados en Maragatería (León) y Somiedu (Asturias), en el Noroeste ibérico. La reflexión teórica-metodológica sobre nuestros estudios arqueológicos, etnográficos y patrimoniales en marcha, junto a la consideración de investigaciones semejantes desarrolladas recientemente en otras zonas rurales del estado español e internacionalmente, sirven de eje conductor a este trabajo.
Highlights

Our research explores processes of cultural change currently underway in many European rural areas, where vernacular or so-called ‘traditional’ societies move towards postmodern and global patterns of relationality
We have selected two case studies in rural areas of Asturias and León (North of Spain), where we have developed and tested the methodology critically assessed in this article
Summary
Our research explores processes of cultural change currently underway in many European rural areas, where vernacular or so-called ‘traditional’ societies move towards postmodern and global patterns of relationality. To study this process, we analyze material culture in relation to the built environment of two areas, as well as the social aspects that influence the perception of these spaces and their construction as meaningful features. We have selected two case studies in rural areas of Asturias and León (North of Spain), where we have developed and tested the methodology critically assessed in this article. We conclude with some reflections and a brief discussion of some particular issues that highlight the usefulness of our approach
