Abstract

The construction of rural habitats, as well as the productive spaces linked to them, is a long-term process defined by the intervention of different environmental and anthropic factors. Among the latter, the use of fire plays a major role as a land management strategy. Using a combination of physical (magnetic susceptibility) and chemical (X-ray fluorescence) indicators, this paper aims to identify and characterise the occurrence of fire in historical agricultural soils, in order to widen our knowledge on the formation of such records, and to describe the forms of resource management in the rural world. This approach has been tested in Aizarna village (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country).
