Abstract

The study of conflicts through the use of the archaeology is becoming a usual research field because it is a good way to provide information which is missing in the written sources. This is the situation for the siege of Alcala la Vieja (Alcala de Henares), which took place in 1118. The present paper seeks to address how to solve this problem with an interdisciplinary study, combining historical and archaeological information with the use of new technologies, specifically, geographic information systems. In this context, we tried to analyze the places where the Christian army established its main camp and also where, apparently, they built a temporary castle to besiege the Muslim fortress.
