“…65 However, we can state that place-based identities have a more nuanced salience in the rural world precisely because its inherent sociology, based on a more acute tension between the individual and the community, is dissimilar to urban sociology, where individuality has a more significant interference. 66 Urban and rural forms of community belonging can be defined according to social understandings of a community's local place, and these forms of belonging can become a layer of identity at a local scale.

Sociological models of place‐based identity can be used to better understand the social dynamics of local communities and how they interact with their surroundings. This paper explores how these theoretical models of belonging to a place, in tandem with communal cognitive maps, can be applied to post‐Roman contexts, taking the Iberian Peninsula in the Visigothic period (sixth–eighth centuries) as a preliminary case study. We argue that this approach can give us not only a more complex understanding of community agencies but also allows us to reconsider the social context for past social interactions. Furthermore, it will open a new archaeological perspective for future work on the relations between groups and individuals with their built, social, and natural environments.
