La transformació del medi natural al paisatge agrícola al llarg de l’època antiga. L’exemple del jaciment de Foneria (Barcelona)

The paper introduces the findings of the multidisciplinary studies conducted on the archaeological remains documented in a preventive excavation performed in 2009 in the city of Barcelona. The discovery of the site, in a particularly important sector for the study of the relationship between the natural environment and anthropic activities, and the tendency of the delta environment to preserve organic remains enabled a fairly wide-ranging research approach. Following the interpretation of the archaeological remains, the emergence, evolution and end of the human settlement in this area is explored, from the Iberian period to Late Antiquity. Moreover, it provides an analysis of some aspects related to the adaptation to the natural environment and its transformation for productive purposes, with special attention on the forms of the territory, water management and trading of products that are poorly represented in the archaeological records and, finally, the changes in the vegetal landscape as a result of agricultural activities.
