本研究探讨了从西班牙西北部罗马水力金矿开采活动激烈时期发生的景观转变中收集到的信息。Sierra del Teleno及其周边地区的特征是存在第四纪冰川和冰缘沉积物，以及局部新近纪冲积沉积物，这些沉积物被罗马人大量开采。然而，采矿碎屑往往掩盖了自然矿床，使其识别和描述成为一项具有挑战性的任务。这项研究的目的是确定特定地貌特征的存在，这些特征可以改善与采矿活动有关的人为因素的识别。由于工程的范围和复杂性，河流截流和拓宽的排水系统是现存的最杰出的结构。然而，其他采矿因素，如冲积扇、冰碛沉积物和山脊的人为改造，在景观中也很明显。在许多情况下，这些遗存与该地区发现的水文基础设施有关，这些基础设施主要包括一个广泛的自然和人工渠道和分配水箱系统。在没有发现这种结构的地区出现困难。因此，地貌要素和格局的使用有助于区分自然地貌和人为地貌。因此，使用这种方法，我们对罗马水力金矿开采活动在景观上的形态印记进行了第一次系统和详细的分析。这些数据将有助于拼凑出罗马采矿活动如何改变景观的谜团，并有助于围绕新时代的讨论：人类世。
This study explores the information gathered from the landscape transformation that occurred during the intense period of Roman hydraulic gold mining activity in northwest Spain. The Sierra del Teleno and its surroundings are characterised by the presence of Quaternary glacial and periglacial deposits and, locally, Neogene alluvial sediments, which were intensely mined by the Romans. However, the mining debris often obscures natural deposits, making their identification and description a challenging task. The aim of this study is to determine the existence of specific geomorphological features that can improve the identification of anthropic elements related to mining activity. River captures and widened drainage systems are among the most outstanding structures remaining, due to the extent and complexity of the work involved. However, other mining elements, such as anthropic modification of alluvial fans, moraine deposits and rock ridges are also evident in the landscape. In many cases, these remains are linked to the hydrologic infrastructure found in the area, which mainly comprises an extensive system of natural and man-made channels and distribution water-tanks. Difficulties arise in areas where no such structures are found. Thus, the use of geomorphic elements and patterns can help to distinguish natural and anthropic landforms. Using this approach, therefore, we have performed the first systematic and detailed analysis of the morphological imprint of Roman hydraulic gold mining activity on the landscape. These data will help piece together the puzzle of how the landscape was transformed by Roman mining activity, and can contribute to discussions surrounding the new epoch: The Anthropocene.
