Abstract


The research project of the Archaeological Zone of Las Médulas (León) was developed from a scientific and heritage related approach that stressed its understanding as a cultural landscape which results from a historical process. In this paper the premises and determinants of that view are analised, together with the criteria for that valuation and the particular measures already taken for its conversion into an Archaeological Park, as a social outcome of the research work.
