Abstract
Since 2001 an interdisciplinary team of archaeologists and geographers from the universities of Gent (Belgium), Evora (Portugal) and Cassino (Italy) has organized several campaigns of geo-archaeological fieldwork in and around the Roman town site of Ammaia in Northern Alentejo (Portugal, figure 1). These investigations aimed at achieving a better understanding of the town/countryside nexus in Antiquity as well as of Man’s effects on the landscape during the ancient Roman times. Particular geo-archaeological questions that were dealt with include; the topographic setting and site location choices by the Romans, water provisioning and exploitation of important natural resources such as building stone (granite, marble), metal ore and rock crystal. 
Main Subjects
