Abstract

A systematic prospection survey in the territory of iberan and roman town of Eso/Aeso allowed the discovering of a relatively dense netof rural settlements. We proceed to analyse morphometrically the landscape. Apart from some medieval and modern age interventions, we found at least two kinds of ancient age (re)ordinations of rural landscape.

Besides the relics of a centuriated parcellation, we found traces of a coherent parcellation system, in which structures keep a coherent orientation and follow some kind of metrical rhythm in spite of lacking the rigorous orthogonallity of a centuriation.

At last, the data acquired during systematic prospection and those obtained by photointerpretation were merged using a GIS. Some environmental variables werecrossed with the former data to confirm hypothesis a suggest new ones relative to chronology and functionality of both ancient parcellation
