Archaeology of Cultural Landscapes focuses on the characterisation of the Mediterranean landscapes as cultural elements. Landscape archaeology is an essential discipline for studying the interactions of societies with their surroundings and the formation of cultural landscapes.

The European Landscape Convention and the Catalan Landscape Protection, Management, and Planning Act set out the need to study the history of landscapes, as they contribute to heritage values and can be turned into a cultural resource.

The preservation of this type of landscape must include its evaluation within the framework of sustainable local economic development. Thus, the research carried out by this team contributes to our knowledge of landscape dynamics and management.
