🏢 About the local organisation
The work camp is organized by Instituto Valenciano de la Juventud (IVAJ)and the Viver City Council.
The City Council of Viver, since 2016, has been developing a research project, focused on the excavation, consolidation and enhancement, in the Roman site of El Prado.
💼 What the programme involves
The objective of the work camp will be the excavation and archaeological documentation of the Roman town of El Prado (Viver, Castellon), which has been partially excavated and which is immersed in a (first) action of valorization.
The work camp aims to give a global vision of archeology, from its praxis to its function as a catalyst for tourism. This will be done, from work inherent in these excavation processes, such as cleaning and cataloging of recovered materials; until the cultural visits to sites and talks related to the archaeological discipline (legislation, periodization, virtual archeology...), ending with an example of putting value and exposing the results to the population that hosts it.
