Enhancing rescue-archaeology using geomorphological approaches: Archaeological sites in Paredes (Asturias, NW Spain)

► A Roman necropolis was discovered in Asturias, N Spain. ► We designed a multidisciplinary methodology of work combining rescue archaeological prospection with geochronological, sedimentological and geomorphological approaches. ► The geometry and evolution of the archaeological sites were defined, based on key geomorphological data. ► Rescue-archaeological study can become a research project with scientific results enhanced by a multidisciplinary study including geomorphological approaches.
