This volume presents proceedings from the session 'Monumental
Earthen Architecture in Early Societies: Technology and power
display', part of the XVII World UISPP Congress, held in Burgos
(Spain), the 4th September 2014. The theme of the symposium is the
archaeology of earthen architecture in pre- and protohistoric
cultures, with an emphasis on constructive techniques and systems,
and diachronic changes in those aspects. The main interest is in
monumental architecture (not domestic), where it is better possible
to appreciate the building strategies that show raw earth to be as
noble a material as stone or wood, but with its very own
characteristics which required the development of original
solutions and construction techniques. The scope on monumental
buildings also allows analyzing the political, social and
economical factors that made such architecture a recognized
expression of societal values and political power.
