      • The first historiographical references to this (nowadays deserted) spot date to the 17th century, due to the fortuitous exhumation of Roman period remains. Local scholars gathered the news during the 19th century. Only in the latter decades of the previous century, however, did the first archeological interventions take place. Researchers from the University of Malaga carried them out, after the eviction of the population in order to build the Guadalteba reservoir. A series of structures dating to the Roman period were documented, and over them a Visigothic necropolis. The site is located in the flood-prone area of the reservoir, which becomes visible every few years. Significant erosion, dismantling and even disappearance of architectural structures, as well as plundering activities, had been favored by this circumstance. As a consequence of this deterioration, a new intervention was launched in 2002, developed within the Heritage Training Program “Escuela Taller Parque de Guadalteba” promoted by the Guadalteba Consortium. Thanks to these cleaning, excavation and documentation works, the time sequence of this site was extended. Over the whole surface of the site the presence of abundant stone bifacial flaking tool production was confirmed. This production dates to the Paleolithic and recent Prehistory and reflects a large and diversified human activity. (translation by Laura González Fernández)
