#Abstract
This research is part of a larger and ongoing debate on how to conceptualise the domestic space and its relationship with the social and economic fabric that gives it meaning. Specifically, this proposal questions the productive capacity of the house/family unit in textile production. In order to address this issue for al-Andalus in the 12th and 13th centuries, we will present a study that combined the archaeological records of both the indicators of textile activity (spinning - weaving) and the architectural space (the house) where they are inserted. In turn, in order to situate this specific materiality within historical and socio-economic discourses, we will resort to the study of textual sources (Chronicles, hisba, etc.) which help us understand the complexities of these activities, and, above all, their protagonists. In relation to these study premises, the need to study in depth the way the house works, based on a family organization chart, lead us to ask who the people who carried out these productions in the domestic space where. Thus, as we will see from the review of the textual sources, we know that women will have a relevant role in most of the work in this sense. This reality is not alien to the Mediterranean tradition and will leave a mark in a development practically until today. Thus, based on these criteria, we propose a study of domestic production, a level of specialisation that allows the generation of products that are inserted into monetised market networks (local, regional or interregional), functioning as professional workshops located in the home. In order to respond to these approaches, we will resort to the theoretical postulates of Household, to the archaeology of production and especially to the contributions of a reading of Gender both from the textual information and from the archaeological empirical base.
