The Sikarra Award recognizes Josep Guitart for a lifetime dedicated to the Roman site of Iesso.<\/h6>\n

The Sikarra Award<\/strong>, organized by the Fundaci\u00f3 Jordi Cases i Llebot<\/a> and the association Espitllera F\u00f2rum d\u2019Estudis Segarrencs (EFES)<\/a>, was presented on Saturday, March 16th, in Guissona, to the director of the excavation of the Roman city of Iesso<\/em>, Josep Guitart i Duran.<\/p>\n

Guitart<\/a> and his team have placed the Roman park of Guissona among the most important sites to understand the process of Romanization in Catalonia. He has led the project from the Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona and under the coordination of the Institut Catal\u00e0 d’Arqueologia Cl\u00e0ssica (ICAC-CERCA), which has managed the project since 2004 with the concatenation of several four-year projects co-funded by the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya. The current project, Transformacions urban\u00edstiques, din\u00e0miques constructives i vida urbana a la ciutat romana de Iesso (Guissona, Segarra)<\/a><\/strong> (CLT009\/22\/00039), is directed by N\u00faria Roman\u00ed (UAB) and Josep Guitart<\/strong><\/a>, who was the first director of the ICAC (in 2003) and is currently an associated researcher at the Institute.<\/p>\n

After five decades of research and dedication to the Iesso project, Josep Guitart becomes the true soul of the project<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As reported by the Guissona City Council<\/a>, during the award ceremony, Josep Guitart explained that he arrived in Guissona in 1974, after the archaeologist Emili Junyent told him that some young people, Francesc Santacreu, Santi Mercad\u00e9, Ramon Santaeul\u00e0ria, and Ramon Ribera, were excavating and had made the discovery of a Roman sewer in the Fassina. Guitart explained, “since then, the archaeological park of Iesso, as if it had come to life, has accompanied me until today.”<\/p>\n

Today, the Roman city of Iesso, along with the work of the Museu de Guissona<\/a>, is a comprehensive project to understand Romanization in the inland regions of Catalonia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/header>\n

Guitart<\/a>‘s commitment and trajectory with Guissona have gone far beyond professional dedication, forging personal and academic bonds that have enabled the creation of a whole school of archaeologists and raised awareness in the community about the importance of its past.<\/p>\n

The entire ICAC-CERCA community celebrates this well-deserved recognition and congratulates their dear colleague Josep Guitart.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
