Spanish Landscapes in the Middle Ages: Reconstructing Territorial Memory from Early Documents and Cartography –A GIS-Based Methodology
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The gradual disappearance of traditional ways of life in the countryside is changing the historical relationship between rural inhabitants and their environment. As a consequence, the reconstruction of historical landscapes and territories plays an important role in historical memory. Toponyms are now considered an essential means of constructing community identities, because they refer to old uses and infrastructures, as well as to historical landmarks. Following the clues left behind by toponyms, old landscapes emerge from the past and endow the present ones with new meanings. The main goal of our project has been to preserve, protect, and disseminate this essential cultural heritage, which might otherwise sink into oblivion under the weight of the recent sweeping transformations wrought on the countryside by urban development and land use planning. To this end, we have developed an Open GIS-based tool that can be applied worldwide and which falls within the framework of European Union policies to promote free multilingual digital access to Europe's cultural heritage. This tool will provide free information on toponyms, helping to reconstruct historical territories and landscapes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
