Abstract

The paper seeks to explain the anthropoligical characteristics of the district (comarca) of Tierra de Sayago
in the province of Zamora, Spain and to do so grounds itself upon a single consideration, this being the
nature of the lowest common denominator for any legal-administrative definition, the search for this taking
in all manner of scales de these territorial, urbanistic or architectural always and if the result might explain
this ancestral and upcountry landscape. Said characteristics are felt to both embody and explain the close
linkage between ways of farming and land ownership and thus constitute stout pegs for the measuring of
territorial scale. The author, however, admits that both her description and study are now things of the
past when it comes to understanding these same territorial proportions as the buying up and enclosure of
ground has thrown many traditional aspects of the question such as commons and bounds (paredes) out of
kilter, replacing these with city notions such as the lot for sale or hire.
