Abstract

Terraced agricultural fields are a prominent element in the rural landscapes of northern Navarre. In this paper, we propose an approximation to their main features (location, morphology, constructive techniques, etcetera), based on four local examples from the Baztan valley. Our results reveal that terraced field systems, placed close to the habitats forming homogeneous assemblages, have been the main areas of cereal production in contexts of accidented topography. In this manner, these spaces can be considered as a key of the rural landscapes, which opens the way for a study of their historical evolution.
