| Abstract | The geoarchaeological stratigraphy of a site located at the coalescence zone of two small alluvial fans at the Albaicin foothills, reveals lanscape changes during the late Holocene in Granada. The record shows two geological beds, each divided in several archaeological strata. The lower bed, formed by gravelly-cobbly sands and clays, include pebbles of rounded pottery of late Bronze (below), Iberian and Roman (above) age, eroded from sites located upstream. After a marked change, gravels with sedimentary structures due to hydrodynamic erosion and moulding were deposited. These are interbedded with three horizons of burial structures belonging the Saad Ben Malik medieval muslim cemetery, before surface reworking related to the urban developmen. These data reveal that founding of sites in the Alto Albaicin was nearly continuous since Late Prehistory time, and evidences a marked post-Roman increase in erosion, possibly related to deforestation in mountain areas surrounding the town. |
