In the Sierra de Cádiz region of Spain, archaeologists have found 57 settlements from the ancient Roman period. It is thought that these settlements may be linked to each other, and a detailed study is currently being carried out to understand these connections. The team from the University of Cádiz focused on the settlements around the Guadalete River and, using geo-radar technology, they identified ancient structures that were invisible from the surface. These findings offer new insights into the presence of the Roman Empire in the region.
In Spain, archaeologists have made an extraordinary discovery. In the Sierra de Cádiz region, they found 57 settlements from the ancient Roman period. This number was much higher than they had initially expected.
The researchers think that these settlements may be connected to each other. They are currently carrying out a detailed study to better understand these connections. This is the first time that Roman settlements in the region have been analysed so comprehensively.
The team from the University of Cádiz focused on the settlements around the Guadalete River. Using geo-radar technology, they detected ancient structures invisible from the surface.
Excavations at the villa of El Canuelo in Bornos found walls separating living and working areas. They also investigated other previously discovered but unexplored areas.
These findings provide new information about the presence of the Roman Empire in the region 2000 years ago. The Romans had settled in this region after conquering Spain in 264 BC.
The research team will continue their work in the coming years. Their aim is to develop a more comprehensive understanding of Roman settlements and the region. These studies will shed light on the archaeological heritage of the region and illuminate its history.
