ESTUDIOS SOBRE PAISAJE Y POBLAMIENTO RURALES EN EL MEDIEVO ANDALUZ: BALANCE HISTORIOGRÁFICO.

Through this paper it is review of the contributions that have been developed on two important issues closely related: rural settlement and landscape. In view of the extensive existing historiographical production, the analysis has been geographically limited to Andalusia and chronologically circumscribed to the Late Medieval period. By explaining the main research approaches and the results of this study, it has been able to globally appreciate the interest shown in the topic and the acquired knowledge in this thematic field. It concludes by suggesting present and future lines of research, some of which are already being developed, that may contribute to improve these results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
