MEMOLA project participates in the Day of Archaeology 2015, promoted among others by the European project NEARCH. The Day of Archaeology aims to provide a window on the daily lives of archaeologists from around the world. The project asks people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate recording their day and sharing it on their website to the public. From the MEMOLA project we support this initiative as a way to publicise the work we daily do in the four study area.
The first stage of archaeological excavation at Pizzo Monaco (Custonaci) ends today. We thank all the volunteers and technicians who have contributed in this first phase of the 2015 campaign.
New publication of the Medieval Archaeology group from the University of Padova about the study of the historical landscapes historians.
We continue the study of Lanteira archaeological pottery. The results are allowing us to precise the chronology and interpretation of the various phases documented during the archaeological excavation.
Flotation of archaeological soil samples from Lanteira excavation keeps going on. Students in archaeology collaborate in this activity and soon the CSIC, MEMOLA partner, will analyse the recovered seeds in their laboratory in Madrid.
We have begun the archaeological survey in the area of "Marquesado del Zenete" (Sierra Nevada) with our Prehistorians colleagues at the University of Granada.
In October and November of 2014, took place the first archaeological intervention , authorized by the Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali e Ambientali di Trapani, at the site of Pizzo Monaci (Custonaci, Trapani).
