La problemática del registro arqueológico de Alcalá de Henares y la aplicación de nuevas tecnologías

Resumen

The origin of this work began after a critical reflection on the medieval city of Alcalá de Henares. The investigation of the archaeological record of the historic center initially seemed a challenge, not only for its apparent "absence" but because it offered the possibility to understand a complex and a historical reality from contemporary conflicts. This nature, kaleidoscopic, as we observed, did not allow an unequivocal reflection, forcing at least the presentation of all the actors involved in the management of archaeological heritage. The silently archaeological record, which resisted simplification, restoration projects, the professionalization of archeology, public administration and management of soil, local scholars, using new methodologies or techniques ... Together they make a little construction enjoy in practice, of a sufficient legal and conceptual framework. This work is the result of the consultation of a major documentary unit, which in most cases remained unpublished, preserved in the Regional Community of Madridarchaeological digs into the Community of Madrid, Fondo de Cultura ", a National Historic -Universities-Section, General Administration, documentation on various projects, and the Municipal Restoration of Alcala de Henares, especially useful for understanding the evolution of the wall between the XVI-XIX centuries. All this has allowed for a first fragmented frame from the registry of medieval city, which also contributed the analysis of two interventions: the convent of Santa Ana Mínimos, and held in the headquarters of the Prince in 2009. The number of archaeological digs that approximates the two hundreds, offers yet a little optimistic scoreboard.
