“…In European towns the segregation of Jewish communities in marginal areas (in part due to the agency of lordship in settling Jewish communities in areas under their own, rather than burghers' control) and the codification of this in regulation and fees served to minimize the risk of encounters with otherness (Scholz 2018, 56;Hinton 2003). Similar deliberate segregation can be seen in Iberian towns between Islamic and Christian communities following the Reconquista, although evidence of commercial interactions between these groups perhaps points to the potency of open or empty spaces in facilitating encounters which undermine this institutionalized othering (see Gerrard 1999;Trindade 2007).…”

“…One of the clearest expressions of it was the physical separation of areas of residence. For example, after the twelfth-century conquest, in many towns in Aragón and the Ebro Valley the Mudéjar population was concentrated in separated districts (morerías) (Catlos 2004, p. 94;Gerrard 1999;Torró, 1995;Virgili 2001, pp. 110-112).…”

The aim of this paper is to analyse the distribution of the agricultural fields in the alquería of Moclón (Málaga. Spain) after the Castilian conquest of 1485. Moclón was populated by seven morisco neighbours and five Castilian settlers during the 16th century, until the expulsion of the Moriscos in 1570. The study of written evidence and the archaeological survey have permitted us to locate the fields of both communities. Clearly, there were segregated areas of irrigated and dry fields. The internal distribution of the Moriscos' fields is also analysed. Finally, some explanations for this segregation are put forward.

“…The preceptory at Ambel has been intensively recorded and studied (Gerrard 1999;Gerrard 2003) and is used as the case study in this paper. The site served as an administrative centre by the Templar Order immediately after the Christian 'reconquest' of the area in the early 12th century and, when the Templars were dissolved at the turn of the 14th century, the building and its estate passed to another Military Order, the Hospitallers (later popularly known as the Knights of Malta).…”

Damage in Historic Rammed Earth Structures: a Case Study at Ambel, Zaragoza, Spain

This paper examines the possible causes of damage to historic rammed earth structures based on a case study of a medieval and later building, formerly a preceptory of the Military Orders, in the village of Ambel in Aragon, north-east Spain. Structural and water-based mechanisms of damage are reviewed and an engineering basis for the cause of damage is proposed. Since a number of repair strategies have already been attempted on this structure, their effectiveness is also discussed. A four storey granary at the north-east corner of the preceptory complex is described in detail since it encapsulates many damage mechanisms and repair strategies which are common to historic rammed earth. The granary tower has a random rubble foundation, which is probably in part the remains of previous building, with rammed earth walls for the three storeys above. This rammed earth was originally rendered and scored to imitate fired brick but almost all of this has now fallen away. The gable end of the building has fired brick quoins, and now leans outwards slightly at the head of the wall. There is evidence of water damage because the building was neglected in the past, though not enough to initiate collapse. Structural and water based damage mechanisms are identified, and example repair strategies used at Ambel are described.
