The present paper attempts to aproximate to the archaeological research of two of the most relevants
fortified settlements of the Medieval Rif (north of Morocco), Ghassasa and Tazouda. Reviewing the
written sources –Ibn Ḥawqal, al-Bakrī, al-Idrīsī, Ibn Ḥayyān, al-Bādisī, etc.– and comparing the data
they offer with the archaeological records of surface, we report here the recent hypothesis deduced from
the analysis of their emerging structures and pottery, trying to trace some new information of the fortifi-
cation process in the Rif since Early Medieval centuries to the fifteenth century and to detect the devel-
opment of the interrelations and influences by the commercial exchanges between twice Mediterranean
coasts: North African and al-Andalus.
So, we offer the planimetry of both settlements, Ghassasa and Tazouda, which haven´t been docu-
mented before, and also some typologies of Magrib’s medieval pottery founded there, contributing with
an original research to the study of medieval urbanism in Magrib al-Aqṣā and the role that they take on
the trade routes existing between Bilād al-Sūdān, to Siŷilmāsa, and al-Andalus.
