The Archaeology of 'Underdog Sites' in the Douro Valley brings
together the best presentations from the eighth and ninth meetings
of Archaeology of the Douro Valley, held in Avila and Astorga
(Spain), respectively in 2018 and 2019. However, instead of a
simple collection of articles, the aim of this publication is to
show the importance of projects that have been left in the
background despite obtaining interesting archaeological data about
the occupation of this valley and its evolution. Moreover, we must
take into account that many of these projects support new activity
in a rural territory that is increasingly neglected politically and
economically. Hence the use of the term 'underdog', defined as a
person or group of people with less power or money than the rest of
society. Overall, the volume provides a general and
interdisciplinary view of the different types of occupation in the
territory of the Douro Valley. The chapters are divided into four
sections, three of them chronological: Prehistory and Protohistory;
Antiquity and Late Antiquity; and the medieval and modern ages. The
last section is thematic and includes diachronic studies,
museology, and the archaeology of mining. Therefore, the present
volume is a medium to showcase the latest research carried out in
this important territory and to contribute to knowledge of its
history, updating the archaeological state of the art in the valley
and presenting results that may be used in the most diverse types
of comparative studies.
