💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will be part of a team of archeology professionals who have been searching for the oldest remains of the fortress for some time. Under his instructions, and always with the utmost respect considering the age of the remains to be unearthed, the participants will learn first-hand the attractive archaeological methodology (excavation, drawing, recording, 3D...) and also other auxiliary techniques used to recover all possible information on such an important monument (toponymy, oral informants, etc.). On the north face of the acropolis, in the garden area and in an intermediate area between the wall of the Terceiro Recinto and the Paseo, two types of work will be carried out: - Recovery of Sondaxe 2 carried out in the year 2016 in which a circular structure of stone from Castle is identified a little less than one meter deep, with a lintelled space for a portal, since its chronology and functionality are unknown. - Extension of "Sondaxe 2" in order to obtain a wider horizontal and vertical reading of this circular cabin. - Creation of an extended reality game about the Castle and its surroundings for the tourist dissemination of the Castle as well as its necropolis.
