respondía a nuestras necesidades. Además, su relativa exigua extensión territorial nos permitía una mayor uniformidad en las conclusiones derivadas del estudio de las necrópolis y sus manifestaciones rituales.

In the present contribution, we will focus on the mosaic decoration recovered in the excavation campaigns carried out in 2017 and 2018. The importance of the uilla of Salar is manifested in the conjunction of architectural elements enriched with parietal, mosaics and sculptural ornamentations. In the excavated area, two rooms with geometric mosaics have been found and in the Western area of the peristylum, a spectacular mosaic with hunting scenes

These excavations served as the starting point for the Project for the Recovery, Consolidation and Museological Interpretation of Cabrera's Byzantine Monastery. This project has been coordinated at all times by Palma City Council's Urban Planning Department and co-directed by the authors of this foreword, a management team joined more recently by Maria Jose Rivas, Josep Maria Puche, and Julio Miguel Roman.' Between 1999 and 2012, archaeological work on Cabrera was funded by Palma City Council. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Spanish Ministry of the Environment also contributed financially to restoration and museological activities.2 In 2013, funding was provided by the Balearic Ministry for Education, Culture and Universities' Directorate General for Universities, Research and Knowledge Transfers for land clearance in areas that were to be excavated. The main aim of the Project for the Recovery, Consolidation and Museological Interpretation of Cabrera's Byzantine Monastery has always been to discover and show what the monastery that Pope Gregory the Great mentions in his Epistle XIII, 47, was like. The pope's letter was written in the year 603 AD and it clearly demonstrates the existence of a monastery on the island of Cabrera.
The project is based on conclusions reached in a university degree thesis by one of the authors, Mateu Riera Rullan, entitled Cabrera Monastery in the Late Antiquity, supervised by Professor Miquel Barcelo Perello of Barcelona's Autonoma University, to whom we express ourgratitude. In the thesis, delivered in 2002, data from the small islands of Cabrera, Conillera and 11 lot dels Frares was compared with written sources describing Christian monastic life in the 4th to 8th centuries AD and with archaeological discoveries made at monasteries of the period located on small islands in the western Mediterranean or Atlantic. The thesis concluded that Cabrera was a "holy island" where two types of monastic settlements seem to have coexisted: a main monastery and several hermitages.
Right from the outset, it was proposed that the study of Cabrera's monastic community should be aimed at finding out how the community functioned internally, what use the monks made of the area and its resources, and what modifications they made to the local environment. It was decided that attempts should be made to determine the characteristics of the buildings, to work out how they were used, and to compare them with those cited in written sources. Priority was also given to comparing the archaeological remains on Cabrera with the archaeological remains of examples of 5th to 8th century AD monasteries excavated elsewhere. These are the main criteria on which our work has been based these last few years, leading to the publication of this catalogue.
Thus the aim of this publication is to offer a summary of the archaeological work that has been undertaken in the subarchipelago of Cabrera, contextualizing it within the framework of the 5th to 8th century AD Christian monastic world, a period in which the Balearic Islands formed part of the Vandal kingdom and then the Byzantine Empire.

Dicho proyecto siempre ha estado coordinado desde la Concejalía de Urbanismo del Ayuntamiento de Palma, y codirigido por los autores de este prefacio, un equipo de dirección al que, en los últimos años, se han sumado María José Rivas, Josep Maria Puche y Julio Miguel Román1. Los trabajos arqueológicos realizados en Cabrera han sido financiados por el Ayuntamiento de Palma entre los años 1999 y 2012. Los años 2005, 2006 y 2007 el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente también colaboró económicamente en temas de restauración y musealización, mientras que en 2013 se pudo emprender una campaña de limpieza de las áreas excavadas gracias a la financiación económica de la Dirección General de Universidades, Investigación y Transferencia del Conocimiento de la Consejería de Educación, Cultura y Universidades del Gobierno de las liles Balears.
El objetivo principal del Proyecto de recuperación, consolidación y musealización del monasterio bizantino de Cabrera ha sido siempre el de intentar conocer y mostrar como fue el monasterio del que habla la Epístola XIII, 47, del papa Gregorio Magno, una carta escrita el año 603 d. C que demuestra, sin duda alguna, la existencia de un
monasterio en la isla balear de Cabrera.
Todos los trabajos hasta ahora realizados partían de una base teórica planteada en la tesis de licenciatura titulada El monestir de Cabrero a l'antiguitat tardona, dirigida por el doctor y catedrático de la Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona Miquel Barceló Perelló, a quien no nos cansaremos de mostrar nuestro reconocimiento y nuestra gratitud. En aquella tesis, defendida el año 2002, se empezaron a cruzar los datos obtenidos en Cabrera, Conillera y el Illot dels Frares con
lo que se decía en las fuentes escritas sobre el monacato cristiano de los siglos IV a VIII d. C. y con los descubrimientos arqueológicos de algunos otros ejemplos de monasterios localizados en islotes del Mediterráneo occidental y del Atlántico. Todo este trabajo permitió proponer que Cabrera fue una isla santa donde parecía que habrían coexistido dos tipos de asentamientos monásticos correspondientes a un cenobio y a diversos eremitorios. Ya entonces se argumentó que el estudio de la comunidad monacal de Cabrera debía tener por objeto la naturaleza de su funcionamiento interno, qué uso hacían los monjes del espacio y sus recursos, y qué modificaciones causaron en su entorno. Había que intentar conocer las características de sus construcciones para poder identificar sus usos y poder compararlo con lo que dicen las fuentes escritas. También se consideró muy importante poder confrontar lo encontrado en Cabrera con los restos arqueológicos de los pocos ejemplos de monasterios de los siglos V a VIII d. C. que se han podido excavar. Éstas son algunas de las directrices que han ¡do marcando nuestro trabajo estos últimos años, cuyo resultado es este catálogo.
En definitiva, en este volumen se pretende mostrar una síntesis de los trabajos arqueológicos realizados en el subarchipiélago de Cabrera, contextualizándolos en el mundo del monacato cristiano de los siglos V a VIII d. C, un tiempo en que las islas Baleares formaron parte, primero, del territorio del Reino Vándalo, y, a continuación, del Imperio bizantino.

It had an occupation between the 12 th and 13 th centuries, situated close to the border. The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary analysis of the fortifications of this site after the archaeological excavations of 2018, 2019 and 2021. Mojácar la Vieja, placed on a hill, had two fortified enclosures. The first one is located on the slope, surrounding the entire hill with curtain walls and towers. It had also a complex access system in its western part through a stone staircase and a gate-tower. The inner part of this enclosure was the main area of settlement on the site. The other enclosure was located in the inner part of the hill. Also walled, there were at least two big towers that were used as keeps, as well as a huge cistern. In the eastern of this upper enclosure was also documented a courtyard for the garrison. Therefore, Mojácar la Vieja is a fortress of importance that, given the short period of occupation of the site, is a remarkable example of the poliorcetic and building systems of Almoravid and, above all, Almohad times.

This participatory process comprised several tasks, the most outstanding being the development of a dry stone construction school called the 'Escuela de Balates' offering instruction on how to restore the walls of ancient cultivation terraces. The main objectives of the project were to recover the agricultural space, gain knowledge of ancestral practices, and involve the local population in the conservation of its cultural and environmental heritage.

We understand that archaeology has a duty to revert to society the investment made in its research, and this must be carried out through various dissemination activities. The socialization of archaeology generates lines and content of formative and pedagogical nature, with languages adapted to all social segments; as already mentioned, it is essential to combine didactic activities and citizen participation, promoting the relationship between the population and heritage. In this case, it is essential to implement a procedure for the recognition of heritage values in the construction of the cultural identity of the
community.

of the late Antique and early Medieval periods shed

materials of the Faculty of Economics can add to our
understanding by means of a pluridisciplinar study.
