Tobalina Pulido L. The aim of this paper is to carry out an analysis of the Late Antique rural settlement (3rd-7th centuries) in the space between the Ebro and the Pyrenees, a study area that has not yet had the benefit of an archaeological synthesis of settlement in this Late Antique period. By processing the data with GIS, the spatial and temporal dynamics of rural settlement for the period in question will be determined. The study corpus is composed of data derived from excavation reports, preventive and programmed archaeology, and surveys, in order to provide a first approximation of the settlement, taking into account all available information. Several spatial and temporal variables are related : the intensity of archaeological works, agricultural potential, distances between sites, altitude, distance from transport routes (river and road), evolution of the sites’ representation in the settlement system, etc. The dynamics of the sites are also studied considering their function (like villas, courtyards, necropolises). The results of these statistical analyses provide a first approach to the dynamics of the studied area. Thus, a turning point can be detected in the 5th century. We observe a significant change in the settlement dynamics as well as a drastic decrease in active rural sites. Thus, two settlement patterns can be distinguished : one between the 3rd and the first half of the 5th century and another for the period between the end of the 5th and the 7th century.
