The Farmstead of Pereila, an Al-Andalusian Settlement in the Algarbía District (Málaga)
Abstract
Very little is known in medieval historiography concerning rural settlements in the Algarbía district (Málaga) under Muslim rule. Scarcely any archaeological excavations or surveys have been conducted and recourse to written documents, specifically those of Castilian origin, has yielded very limited results. One exception to this rule is the information pertaining to the Pereila farmstead and its lands, located in what is the present day municipality of Coín (Málaga). A lawsuit in 1537 between the Málaga cathedral chapter and the beneficiaries of Coín concerning collection of the tithe from this site has provided valuable information about the territorial boundaries of the settlement, and to a lesser extent about workspaces. The methodology of extensive archaeology and the principles of hydraulic archaeology have also been employed to complement the information provided by the written documentation.Downloads
