Cet ouvrage regroupe les actes d'un colloque organisé par la Casa de Velàzquez, à Madrid, au mois de mars 2004 sous le titre Desde la Tarraconense hasta Marca Superior de al-Andalus (ss. IV-XI). Il s'agit là du premier volet d'une série intitulée villa dont le champ de recherche couvre l'ensemble de la vallée de l'Ebre et la période des siècles dits obscurs. L'objectif de cette réunion visait à regrouper des universitaires et des chercheurs des deux côtés de la chaîne pyrénéenne pour éclairer la question controversée de la transition de l'Antiquité tardive au Moyen Age. Au-delà de la diversité des exemples abordés, en Navarre, en Aragon comme en Catalogne, les séances ont permis de dégager des points communs dans l'étude du peuplement rural, tel que le poids du déclin démographique des Ve-Vle siècles, l'existence d'un habitat dispersé avant l'an mil, la fréquence des sépultures taillées dans la roche et surtout, avant la grande mutation du Xe siècle, le faible rôle du château dans l'organisation de l'espace et la structuration du peuplement. Malgré les bouleversements entraînés par la conquête musulmane au début du VIIIe siècle, on retiendra surtout qu'il convient d'étudier cette période non plus en termes de fin du monde antique ou de prémices du Moyen Age mais en soi et pour soi, comme un moment particulier, depuis la crise de la villa jusqu'à l'essor de l'incastellamento.

Paleodemography is the field of enquiry that attempts to identify demographic parameters from past populations (usually skeletal samples) derived from archaeological contexts, and then to make interpretations regarding the health and well-being of those populations. However, paleodemographic theory relies on several assumptions that cannot easily be validated by the researcher, and if incorrect, can lead to large errors or biases. In this book, physical anthropologists, mathematical demographers and statisticians tackle these methodological issues for reconstructing demographic structure for skeletal samples. Topics discussed include how skeletal morphology is linked to chronological age, assessment of age from the skeleton, demographic models of mortality and their interpretation, and biostatistical approaches to age structure estimation from archaeological samples. This work will be of immense importance to anyone interested in paleodemography, including biological and physical anthropologists, demographers, geographers, evolutionary biologists and statisticians.

Henri Duday is Director of Research for CNRS at the University of Bordeaux. The Archaeology of the Dead is based on an intensive specialist course in burial archaeology given by Duday in Rome in November 2004. The primary aim of the project was to contribute to the development of common procedures for excavation, data collection and study of Roman cemeteries of the imperial period. Translated into English by Anna Maria Cipriani and John Pearce, this book looks at the way in which the analysis of skeletons can allow us to re-discover the lives of people who came before us and inform us of their view of death. Duday throughly examines the means at our disposal to allow the dead to speak, as well as identifying the pitfalls that may deceive us.
