A Virtual Hypothesis For Penaflor, A Fortified Village Of Medieval Repopulation In The Southern Sub-Plateau Of The Iberian Peninsula

This paper presents both workflow and results of the first virtual hypothesis for the Medieval settlement of Penaflor. The resulted visualisations are derived from the analysis and integrated interpretation of written, archaeological and ethnographic sources, together with geophysical prospection and photogrammetry techniques. From the one side, the aim is to help understanding and disseminating the knowledge about the only fortified medieval repoblacion hilltop settlement in the southern Meseta of the Iberian Peninsula which is formally under research. On the other, to bring the importance and archaeological variability of the repopulation pattern apart from great castles.
