Description: This important collection of essays presents the first survey in English of the archaeological and historical evidence for the development of urbanism in Iberia - evidence crucial for our understanding of the origin of ancient towns in Europe.

The Iberian peninsula is a region of great potential for archaeological study, because of its key geographical position in south-western Europe and its rich and varied cultural background. These papers, by leading European scholars in the field, combine broad period-based syntheses of modern scholarship with specific examples from recent work at major sites. The volume contains Spanish summaries of all the papers.
Notes: Includes abstracts in Spanish.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"This present volume results from a symposium entitled 'The Origins of Urbanization in Iberia' organized under the auspices of the British Academy and held at the premises of the Academy in London on the 24th and 25th February 1994"--Introd.
