El paleocontenido de un spatheion africano de un contexto del s. VII d.C. del área de El Molinete de Cartagena ha sido objeto de un estudio interdisciplinar, constituyendo uno de los escasos ejemplos mediterráneos analizados de garum en época paleobizantina, y el más tardío conocido hasta la fecha. Sabemos que contuvo una salsa líquida, filtrada de...
A study of a 2nd century AD assemblage of handmade/slow wheel-made cooking wares, found at the Roman settlement of Tamuda (Tetouan, Morocco) is presented. Such ceramics are rare in Early-Middle Roman Imperial contexts of the western Mediterranean. A combined typological and archaeometric approach – including petrographic, mineralogical, and chemica...
This paper present some of the archaeological finds from the site of Pericon Street in Cádiz (Roman Gades). The analysis carried out on these remains offer new data for better understanding the occupational dynamics in the city and the far north of Kotinoussa island from Pre-Roman to Late Roman times. Morpho-functional analysis on the recovered obj...
The castellum of Tamuda, in the outskirts of Tetouan, northern Morocco, is a paradigmatic example of the fortifications built along the southern Roman limes, from its construction, on a previous Mauritanian settlement, in the first half of the 1st century AD, to its abandonment in the first half of the 5th century AD, in the context of the collapse...
The kiln site of Los Matagallares (Salobreña, Granada, Spain) is one of the most important pottery production sites of the Roman period in southern Iberia, particularly for the 3rd century AD. The workshop produced a wide variety of ceramics, but focused on the manufacture of amphorae for the long-distance trade of local/regional fish products, win...
Se presentan los primeros resultados de un reciente proyecto de investigación focalizado en el estudio arqueométrico de las producciones anfóricas de algunos centros alfareros en el litoral del conventus Gaditanus. Por una parte, se llevó a cabo la caracterización composicional de ánforas de tres alfares romanos localizados en diferentes sectores d...
En esta contribución se presenta una primera aproximación al cargamento del pecio tardorromano de Ses Fontanelles hallado recientemente en la isla de Mallorca (islas Baleares, España). Una primera campaña de excavaciones realizada en 2019 permitió obtener una muestra significativa de los materiales que transportaba la embarcación. El estudio tipoló...
Se presenta una primera valoración de un contexto cerámico inédito procedente de la actividad arqueológica preventiva realizada en una de las arterias viarias principales de la norteafricana ciudad de Ceuta (Parcela 7 de la c/ Gran Vía), que ha deparado una interesante secuencia deposicional fechada a inicios del siglo VII (600 d. C. circa). Se tra...
Un inesperado hallazgo en la playa de Palma en Mallorca en 2019 ha permitido la localización, excavación y estudio arqueológico y arqueométrico, aún en curso, de un pecio en un excepcional estado de conservación, fechado en momentos muy avanzados del siglo IV d. C. Se corresponde con una pequeña embarcación (13 x 5 m circa) con un cargamento mixto...

During recent decades, the health of ocean ecosystems and fish populations has been threatened by overexploitation, pollution and anthropogenic‐driven climate change. Due to a lack of long‐term ecological data, we have a poor grasp of the true impact on the diet and habitat use of fishes. This information is vital if we are to recover depleted fish...
The paper presents the results of an interim analytical approach to the Late Roman shipwreck of Ses Fontanelles recently found in the island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). The excellent state of preservation of the hull and the cargo, including amphorae with painted inscriptions (tituli picti), and its location in shallow waters offshore of...
Climate change and size-selective overexploitation can alter fish size and growth, yet our understanding of how and to what extent is limited due to a lack of long-term biological data from wild populations. This precludes our ability to effectively forecast population dynamics and support sustainable fisheries management. Using modern, archived, a...
Las ostras constituyen un aspecto muy poco estudiado de la economía hispanorromana. Se presenta el estudio arqueomalacológico de un depósito inédito de ostras planas (Ostrea edulis) localizado en Los Bañales (Uncastillo, Zaragoza), fechado en los últimos momentos de vida de la ciudad romana (época tardoantoniniana-primo severiana). El depósito se h...
The lack of vertical stratigraphic sondages and open area excavations constitutes a challenge to understanding Mauritanian urbanism. This makes the characterization of the spatio-temporal evolution of Mauritanian towns a difficult task. Systematic excavations carried out in Tamuda by several research teams in the twentieth century provided vertical...
During the excavation of the so-called "cetaria XI" of Baelo Claudia (Ensenada de Bolonia, Tarifa, Spain), a glass object depicting a male portrait has been found. The relationship of this object to the decoration of a particular type of cup is discussed.
Recent archaeological work in the so-called "Baluarte de la Bandera" in Septem (modern Ceuta), on the African coast of the Strait of Gibraltar, has led to the discovery of a serie of defensive features. These probably belonged to the city wall built in the late second or early third century A.D. The upper section of a wall, which was originally ove...
This article summarises the results of the underwater rescue excavation of the shipwreck of Ses Fontanelles (Mallorca, Balearic Islands). The excavation documented the remains of a vessel, 12 m long and 5 m beam, loaded with two tiers of amphorae, which had set sail from the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula. The cargo includes numerous amphorae whic...
EN: In the site of 38 Sacramento street and 1 Solano street (Cádiz), in relation to the Roman city of Gadir/Gades, a suburban dump with two phases of uses dating from the late Republican to Early roman times has been documented.

Hasta fechas muy recientes, el actual casco histórico de Cádiz ha sido interpretado de manera unidireccional por la investigación arqueológica como espacio intramuros de la ciudad romana. Esta interpretación posiblemente ha estado determinada por varios motivos: por un lado, debido al parcelario sumamente atomizado que añade complejidad a la lectur...
Overexploitation has directly, negatively affected marine fish populations in the past half-century, modifying not only their abundance but their behaviour and life history traits. The recovery and resilience of such populations is dependent upon their exploitation history, which often extends back millennia. Hence, data on when exploitation intens...
EN: In the last decades several models of fishing exploitation in the Western Mediterranean have been proposed, based on documented icthyo-archaeological evidence from fish-salting plants and from markets and consumer contexts. In addition to a perennial local fishery for self-consumption, it has been argued that the industrial fishing of tuna and...
We present the study of a ceramic assemblage from the outer area -the so-called Eastern Mauritanian Quarter- of the Tamuda military camp (Tetouan, Morocco), located in the northern limes of the Mauretania Tingitana. The ceramic materials formed part of the infilling of a pit linked to a large Roman building, dated to the first quarter of the 5th AD...
En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del estudio arqueomalacológico de una intervención arqueológica realizada en el Parque de las Acacias de Algeciras (provincia de Cádiz, España) durante el año 2015, la cual permitió exhumar parte de una de las fábricas de salazón del barrio industrial de Iulia Traducta, con contextos diversos datados entr...

EN: During the archaeological excavation carried out in the summer of 2020 in the so-called "Bastion of the Flag" of the ancient Byzantine city of Septem (modern Ciudad Autónoma de Ceuta), on the North African coast of the Strait of Gibraltar, a follis coined by Emperor Phocas (602-610) has been found, which is the first example of Byzantine numera...
Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus; BFT) abundance was depleted in the late 20th and early 21st century due to overfishing. Historical catch records further indicate that the abundance of BFT in the Mediterranean has been fluctuating since at least the 16th century. Here we build upon previous work on ancient DNA of BFT in the Mediterranean by...

En verano de 2019 fue descubierto en Ses Fontanelles (suroeste de Mallorca) un pecio romano con un cargamento de ánforas. Una excavación de urgencia ha sacado a la luz aproximadamente un tercio de los materiales, que están siendo estudiados. Este artículo se centra en las inscripciones (tituli picti) que presentan las ánforas (mayoritariamente Alma...
Recent archaeological excavations (2016–2019) in the city of Tamuda (northern Morocco) yielded evidence of commercial milling and bread-making facilities dated to the Mauretanian period (first century BC). This article presents the results of the excavation of two Mauretanian buildings (E0 7 and E0 8) in the Eastern Quarter, in which evidence for f...
This article analyses the exploitation of luxury products such as pearls and mother of pearl, a seldom-examined facet of maritime archaeology. This issue will be approached from an archaeology of production perspective, taking into account the whole chaîne opératoire, including harvesting the resource, marketing it, and mounting it in different sup...
En este trabajo nos acercamos a la arquitectura del balneum descubierto en el barrio oriental del campamento romano de Tamuda (Tetuán, Marruecos), el cual posiblemente es el principal edificio de baños del asentamiento.

La paleotopografía de la ciudad de Gadir-Gades es un elemento fundamental para la comprensión del proceso histórico acontecido en este ámbito tan singular del entorno atlántico-mediterráneo. Recientes actividades arqueológicas y geoarqueológicas en la parte central del antiguo canal “Bahía-Caleta” (Edificio Valcárcel, 2018) han demostrado la existe...
Amphorae are key materials in the investigation of the production and transport of goods in ancient times. For the Roman period, many typologies of amphorae are standardised and there are hypotheses concerning their uses and contents mainly based on the shape, provenance, tituli picti and, when preserved, the solid contents. However, there are stil...
The excavation project at the Portopalo coastal site proposed as one of its lines of action the excavation of a wide rocky coastal strip, cut like a small cliff with an average height of about 3 m, which was located to the southeast of the site, where it was possible to observe the presence of several aligned salt ponds, made with different morphol...
