Review

"[The book] contains expert case studies...Contributors offer accessible, well founded studies of urbanism."--The Historian

"The publication of such a volume in English makes available for the first time in many years a massive overview of the current state of archaelogical investigation and discussion of ancient Iberia....Finally there is a good, solid, scholarly option for anyone who wants to have at a least a general
understanding of the archaeological history and the archaelogical issues being considered by the current generation of field workers and synthesizers."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review

From the Back Cover

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.
