Abstract

Between the 3rd centuries BC and 1st AD a series of historical changes take place in the Bay of Cadiz and the mouth of the Guadalquivir that will disrupt the organization and management of the environment. The war situation will mark the beginning of the time studied (at the end of the 3rd century BC), and will be the foundation of public works and new forms of territorial organization that, finally, will lead to the greatest modification of the landscape known prior to Industrialization. The hypothesis that is exposed is the fruit of a reflection on the nature of the landscape that is described in the Greco-Latin sources of the second centuries BC to the 1st AD, and its contrast with the geoarchaeological evidence, all considered from the criticism of the existing bibliography to the present day, based on a paradigm of several settlements that, for the time analyzed, is uniquely from one: Gadir.

Summary

Introduction

Muchos han sido los autores que han abordado el estudio de la ciudad de Gadir y de su territorio circundante tanto desde las fuentes geográficas e históricas clásicas como desde las abundantes evidencias arqueológicas. La hipótesis que se expone es el fruto de una reflexión sobre la naturaleza del paisaje que se describe en las fuentes grecolatinas de los siglos II a.C. al I d.C., y su contrastación con la evidencia geoarqueológica, todo ello considerado desde la crítica de la bibliografía existente hasta la actualidad, basada en un paradigma de varios asentamientos que, para la época analizada, es singularmente de uno: Gadir.
