The publication of a volume of this type is always a collective effort and therefore it is only fair that we express our gratitude to several persons and institutions involved both in the organisation of the seminar and this publication. On an institutional level we have to thank the Department of Education and Research of the Community of Madrid Regional Government that funded a large part of the seminar and the publication expenses of this volume (Research Project 2017-TI/HUM-5516, Atraccin de Talento programme). We also have to thank the Spanish Ministry of Science Research Project MICINN PID2019107264GB-I00 Paisajes romanos en el sur de la Provincia Tarraconense. Anlisis arqueolgico de la estructura territorial y modelo socioeconmico for its support for the publication. Our gratitude also goes to the Instituto de Cultura y Tecnologa, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (an special memory to its former director Prof. Antonio Rodrguez de las Heras ) for hosting the seminar in November 2018. The Programa Propio de Investigacin of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid contributed additional funding to the organization of the seminar. The Patrimonio y Paisajes culturales Research Group of the Universidad del Pas Vasco Euskal Herriko Unibersitatea (Vitoria-Gasteiz) and the German Archaeological Institute (Madrid Department) also supported the organization of the seminar in different ways, in which regard we must highlight the enthusiastic help of Juan Antonio Quirs Castillo and Dirce Marzoli (respective directors of the aforementioned research institutions). Equally important for us was the support of the Regional Archaeological Museum of Madrid (Alcal de Henares) and special mention is merited by Miguel Contreras (archaeological curator) for acting as cicerone on a private tour of the museum organized as a complementary activity to the seminar. On a personal level we must express our gratitude to several colleagues from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid: Prof. Luz Neira offered her assistance with many different issues and was directly involved as a contributor to the seminar; Maria del Carmen Cuellar was very helpful in designing the seminar website; Francisca Snchez de Rojas demonstrated great diligence and patience in dealing with the seminar logistics; and we are also indebted to Fernando Moreno Navarro (graduate student at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Department of Humanities) for his continuous help in the organization and holding of the seminar. Of course, we must thank Mirko Vorderstein and Carla Schmidt for their support throughout the editorial process. Finally, we must thank all the contributors for their efforts in translating the results of their own research projects for the book. The publication of this volume constitutes a boost to our current knowledge of ancient rural communities in Roman Spain and, at the same time, it has served to augment the personal links between all the authors. We are quite sure that these personal links will lead to new joint projects in the future.
