Abstract


The interest of this article lies in spreading this method of analysis, developed basically by the Italian architects Parenti and Brogiolo, among the Spanish researchers and specialists. The method is based on the consideration that a building consists of different parts added throughout its history. When these parts are subjected to the laws of stratigraphy it is possible to "read" them according to an archaeological method. What the present article seeks is to define and adapt this new method's terminology as well as its instruments and working process to the scientific language and to the experience itself. It also presents some of the problems posed by the method.
