A group of archaeologists hired by the company awarded the contract for the future Archaeological Park The turnstile is taking place during these days several tastings and surveys to locate the remains of the top of the hill.
The result of these excavations will influence the design of the entrances, walkways and recreation areas this new park, which, like Park Towers, is set to a new viewpoint to the city.
Work on the Historical-Archaeological Park Windlass, once the surveying and staking of the work started last June.
As explained archaeological address sources, once thrust surface cleaning of the hill, were identified for re-excavation digging boxes raised by Pedro San Martín Moro in the 70's, on which subsequent interventions have been conducted along specific 80's and 90's.
These works have brought a first session aerial photography, with which it has documented the initial state of the area concerning the park, from which you can go by early work for the study of certain archaeological evidence.
The current archaeological work focuses on a series of structures tardorrepublicana period associated with a slightly earlier timing temple located next to a sacellum or small chapel dedicated to the Syrian goddess Atargatis.
Similarly, will resume the excavation of a series of structures located within walking distance of the above, partially excavated in the years 70, which is to refine interpretation and chronology.
On the other hand, in brief will address the archaeological excavation in the vicinity of mill-chapel of San Cristobal, where the 90 were found the remains of a hypothetical castellum aquae, ie, a structure used for storage and redistribution of water to the city in ancient times.
Finally, we have begun the work of documentation and cleaning prior to the intervention of consolidation and restoration of the so-called Wall of Dean and the XVI century mill located on the hilltop.
