Resumen de Historians, historiography and archaeologically imperceptible change
Jorge Alejandro Eiroa Rodríguez
Archaeology, which does not understand short times and specific events, offers us no detectable changes that can be ascribed to the events that happened around 1212. Al-Andalus continued its internal development regardless of what happened in Las Navas de Tolosa and only with the Castilian conquest was the process interrupted. In the lands of the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula, we should speak – from an archaeological perspective – of maximum intensity in the slow construction of a violent path of no return, rather than of a major turning point: the conquest and the end of al-Andalus, the imposition of one society on another and the creation of a new world.
