Abstract
El poblamiento de las comarcas campiñesas
del suroeste peninsular ibérico se caracteriza por
una larga diacronía sustentada en dos factores
principales, la bonanza climática y la alta capacidad
agrológica de los suelos. Buen ejemplo de ello es
el asentamiento de Tejada, situado en la actual
provincia de Huelva, y ocupado desde momentos
protohistóricos hasta inicios de la edad moderna.
Su importancia durante la época romana e islámica,
evidenciada por su carácter urbano, contrastan con
un paulatino declive que, tras un último momento
de florecimiento después de la conquista y la
posterior repoblación cristianas, cristalizará en su
abandono a comienzos del siglo XVI, en favor de
otras poblaciones circundantes, tal y como revelan
las fuentes textuales, cartográficas y arqueológicas.
Su secuencia ocupacional puede servir de modelo
para valorar el tipo de poblamiento de carácter
urbano y rural entre la margen derecha del río
Guadalquivir y la costa de Huelva en un típico
paisaje andaluz de campiña.
The countryside’s settlement in the southwest of the Iberian peninsula is characterised by a long diachronic process, based on two main factors: the favourable climate and the high agrological capacity of the soils. A good example of this is the settlement of Tejada, located in the area of Huelva, and occupied from protohistoric times until the beginning of the modern era. Its importance during the Roman and Islamic periods, evidenced by its urban character, contrasts with a gradual decline which, after a final period of flourishing after the Christian conquest and subsequent repopulation, crystallised in its abandonment at the beginning of the 16th century, in favour of other surrounding towns, as revealed by textual, cartographic and archaeological sources. Its occupational sequence can serve as a model for assessing the type of urban and rural settlement between the right bank of the River Guadalquivir and the coast of Huelva in a typical Andalusian countryside landscape.
