The historic earth flat roofs have been described, in terms of construction, by numerous authors. However, a scientific study of its water behavior has not been carried out. Being a typology extended by the five continents, this article focuses on the earth flat roofs of Ibiza and those of the culturally and historically related areas: Spain and Berber Africa. It compares and analyzes the behavior of the materials used in the roof with respect to rainfall, performing laboratory tests to determine the infiltration capacity and water retention capacity of the materials, especially the top layer of the roof, quantitatively characterizing the impermeability of the marl from Ibiza and explaining its good behavior with respect to rain.
