Archaeological survey, landscape, and “the big picture” of agrarian history: a critical review and some proposals.

We stress the robustness of theoretical proposals of the 80`s and 90`s in Spain. We claim for the need of continuity in guiding our praxis by coherent and well structured research programmes. In a wider sense, we pose the need of renewing a commitment with the proposals of an “agrarian archaeology”. We claim for the value of theoretical concepts that still have a high potential for development in Spanish research. In this framework we stress the importance of methodological design of surface survey, in order to deal with the complex reality of agrarian landscapes. Some recent trends and challenges for the future are outlined, especially regarding the recording of the off-site finds. Finally, we suggest some proposals about the sense and utility of hybrid spaces of research oriented to a true diachronic approach to the study of cultural landscapes. El propósito de este trabajo es proponer algunos puntos de reflexión acerca de la manera de concebir el estudio arqueológico del paisaje, así como sobre el papel que juega en este la prospección de superficie. Se llama la atención sobre la robustez de las propuestas teóricas de los años 80 y 90, y se reclama la necesidad de continuar articulando nuestra praxis siguiendo la pauta de programas de investigación coherentes y bien estructurados. De manera más amplia se plantea el potencial que tiene en esa dirección renovar una apuesta por una “arqueología agraria”, reivindicando la valía de conceptos que encierran aún un vasto potencial de desarrollo en la investigación española. En concordancia con todo ello se señala la importancia de diseños metodológicos de prospección adecuados para afrontar el tratamiento de la compleja realidad de los paisajes agrarios. Se expone en este sentido una revisión de tendencias recientes así como de desafíos para el futuro, especialmente en lo referente a la documentación de la evidencia off-site. Finalmente, se plantean algunas propuestas acerca del sentido y utilidad de “espacios híbridos” de investigación, orientados a lograr una aproximación realmente diacrónica del estudio de los paisajes culturales.
