conditions were not the best: cold winter, which is remembered locally as one of the wettest in recent decades has been slow to give way to intense heat that announced the arrival upcoming summer. And, although the staff eventually dropped the feeling of longing for some in facilitating their work, the fact is they did not lose strength in their efforts to develop the hard work in the best way possible.
result of this effort has been that today we see a new domus east of Maximo Kardo and more houses to the west of it, extending island that was already partially discovered previous campaigns. To which we must add the excavation tabernae and south porch of Decumano maximum on both sides of the famous arch tetrápylo emblem of this site and Via de la Plata in Extremadura in general.
must roam around 1,500 square meters of open space during these months. Each area has brought to light a peculiarity, the less curious, both tourists and researchers, professionals and amateurs. The axial structure with peristyle domus center, exactly like the model types studied in the books, the three steps of the most monumental staircase to access the other area homes, taverns ...
For a better understanding of the findings made so far will have to wait out the publication of results. We are confident that this will happen soon and will have quality content. It will be a good contribution to the scientific community more linked to the Archaeology and History.
The visit to the site of Cáparra has been really nice and from ArqueoGest is recommend it to everyone, whether understood or not in the field. Access to the city through the N-630, at the junction at Villar de Plasencia, taking a westerly direction towards the Gabriel y Galán reservoir or Guijo de Granadilla. It is well signposted. The entrance is free , like the tour, although it is recommended concert, especially for groups. Summer hours are 10:00 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00, winter evening opens and closes an hour earlier. And while the excavation of this campaign is about to be terminated, even will last for a few weeks of the restoration work carried out by the CBRC team Atrium.
We kindly thank Minerva, Jose Maria, Julia, Teresa and Marti, guides, messengers, cleaners and maintenance of the site manager, respectively, the efforts of archaeologists field and the archaeologist responsible for the study of materials, the artists work, such seriousness and coordination among partners, to Doña Eulalia Gijón for directing and coordinating all this. But above all, to those most have been on their side and suffered so that today we can admire the vestiges of the past that is the city of Caparra the 15 laborers who have worked every day there, to all of them our sincere thanks and applause.
