“…The influential work of É. Zadora-Rio (1995) showed that European scholars maintained two parallel definitions of the medieval village. Among historians, the village was (textually) defined by institutionalised foci of attachment, such as church, cemetery and castle; in contrast, archaeologists defined the village as a group of houses (Zadora-Rio 1995).…”

The 'landscape turn' of the past 25 years has, however, seen archaeologists engage in a deep theoretical reconceptualisation of village landscapes.…”

“…Yet, paradoxically, these developments have fragmented the notion of the village into a heterogeneous universe of concept and realities, challenging rather than resolving the dialogue between the disciplines. Hence, while historians emphasise the political, morphological and institutional dimension of villages (Zadora-Rio 1995;Carvajal Castro 2021), archaeologists increasingly address themes of collective creation and regulation and transformation of agro-silvo-pastoral resources in shaping shared identities and community-based social life (Peytremann 2015;Oosthuizen 2016).…”

Why, how and when villages emerged across medieval Europe are enduring questions for archaeologists and historians because of the wider social and economic transformations implied—and because many of these settlements persist to the present day. Most archaeological investigations have focused on the nucleated centres of these communities; here, instead, the authors examine the role of agroscapes. Focusing on an agricultural area near the village of Tobillas, changes in soil chemistry are used to document the creation and maintenance of common fields attesting to collective agrarian practice pre-dating the foundation of the medieval village. Reversing the accepted narrative, the authors argue it was these pre-existing agrarian communities who coalesced to constitute villages such as Tobillas.
