Fourth Excavation Campaign

2007

At the beginning of 2007, a relatively novel intervention was carried out in the Foral Community of Navarre; the geophysical survey. With this work they revealed aspects of the enclave that were only intuited and in some cases unknown. Thus, the existence, already pointed out, of a dense and very well preserved urban grid in the area of the hill was confirmed, and a more real sketch of the configuration of the necropolis could be traced. Likewise, this prospecting revealed the existence of a new construction urbanism, made up of insulae in the lower and western part of the site, in physical continuity with the funerary space. This same year, the work of clearing continued with the presence of the Aitonak group in collaboration with Caja Navarra. In July and August, the fourth excavation campaign was carried out, again thanks to the subsidy granted by the Eslava City Council and the Navarrese Employment Service, which led to the discovery of a road on whose margin the funerary enclosures were arranged.
