The Minister of Culture and Tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, visited by the mayor of Pliego, Isabel Toledo, the site of the Almoloya argárico, which noted that, along with La Bastida in Totana, "have been formed in a shaft of argárica culture will become one of the tourist and heritage sites most important in Europe. "
In this sense, Cruz said that in these deposits have "the great future archaeological region and one of the main economic bets that can be made now in Spanish territory".
At the site highlights the discovery of a residential complex of monumental features (about 270 square meters) and approximately square perimeter, consisting of up to eight campuses juxtaposed elongated plant.
The structural conservation of walls and sidewalks is very good.
Highlights in situ coating layer of mortar on the stone walls.
Debris found painted coating, in what constitutes an unprecedented finding in the archeology of the Bronze Age mainland.
Conserving household item, Cruz said, is "exceptional" (many complete vessels, abundant stone tools and bone or botanical and faunal remains).
In addition, 23 tombs have been discovered under the floor of the area inhabited, most inside ceramic pots.
This is a finding "unusual for the period argárico in Europe", and also "from the anthropological point of view is very interesting because of the relationship between life and death," added the director.
Currently, we are running a campaign of excavations with the participation of a large group of professionals and students from several Spanish and European universities whose goal is to document the conservation status, potential and timing information and cultural as well as performances.
The excavation has supervision of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in collaboration with the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the financing of Grupo Fuertes.
