Late Antique and Early Medieval Hispanic architecture (5th to 10th c.) has been discussed since its early scientific research in terms of chronology, characterization and interpretation. Concepts such as creativity, copy, imitation and influence have been commonly used to date and feature that material culture. Traditional research has thereby searched for diverse precedents and parallels both in the western and eastern Mediterranean area in order to explain Hispanic architecture and sculpture, both its singular and common elements regarding other coeval constructions in territories such as Italy, Armenia or Syria. However, current archaeological research makes it impossible to keep on using those linking concepts, since the relevance of architectural technology, this one understood as a practical knowledge transferred by means of teaching-learning and activity-demand, necessarily diverts attention to the role that artisans and commissioners played by innovating with new works or, by contrast, continuing with old ones.
