Moj\u00e1car Mayor, Francisco Garc\u00eda Flores, Noem\u00ed Linares and Mar\u00eda Gracia Alarc\u00f3n, the Councillors for Culture and Tourism respectively, accompanied by the project director, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Mart\u00edn Civantos, Jorge Rouco and Pedro Gurriar\u00e1n, an architect specialising in heritage restoration, have visited the works being carried out at the Moj\u00e1car la Vieja archaeological dig. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\tIn this fifth campaign, the second within the general research project, 30 archaeologists from all over the country are working, remaining in Moj\u00e1car until the 15th of this month, when another group of 40 archaeologists will replace them on the dig until the end of the works planned for 2023 at the end of September.
\n\tJorge Rouco Collazo, INCIPIT-CSIC researcher, director of the PGI and the excavation campaign, will be present throughout the campaign, as well as Jos\u00e9 Maria Civantos, University of Granada MEMOLab coordinator.
\n\tIt also has the collaboration of the University of Exeter Institute of Islamic Archaeology in the UK through the presence of Cristina Mart\u00ednez Carrillo, doing her doctoral thesis, and the collaboration of the CSIC Institute of History for the study of archaeobotanical remains, with the presence of Antonio Peralta G\u00f3mez, also doing his doctoral thesis.
\n\tThe Moj\u00e1car Mayor together with his councillors went around the whole archaeological site, finding out first-hand about the relevance of Moj\u00e1car la Vieja in the history of Muslim Spain in the area and in Eastern Almer\u00eda, as well as the importance of the discoveries being made as the excavations progress.
\n\tAmong the matters dealt with at the foot of the site, the planning of the expected steps in the future and the possibility of requesting assistance and collaborations with regional and national administrations stand out.
\n\tAlthough there have only been a few days of excavations, various ceramic pieces have already been found and what was the first settlement in Moj\u00e1car is taking shape.
\n\tIt is important to remember that the archaeological site is open to the public, not only to visit it and to ask any questions that may arise, also, and most importantly, to take part in the works the specialists are carrying out and to be able to be an archaeologist for a day or for the time considered appropriate.
\n\tWithin this open and participatory character of the excavations, the workshops being held to find out about the history of the locality and its surroundings stand out.
\n\tAmong them are an archaeological ceramics workshop, interactive games about Moj\u00e1car la Vieja, washing in the fountain the old way, drawing and painting days, as well as different guided tours of the archaeological site<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moj\u00e1car Mayor, Francisco Garc\u00eda Flores, Noem\u00ed Linares and Mar\u00eda Gracia Alarc\u00f3n, the Councillors for Culture and Tourism respectively, accompanied by […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualidad-en","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20925"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20929,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20925\/revisions\/20929"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
