The Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC-CERCA) has established a new collaboration agreement with the Tortosa City Council<\/a><\/strong>. This initiative\u00a0promises to boost knowledge about the city’s archaeological heritage significantly.<\/p>\n

The new agreement will allow predoctoral researchers \u00d2scar Cald\u00e9s<\/a> and Itziar Guti\u00e9rrez<\/a>, from the Late Antiquity research team of the MIRMED<\/a> research group, to access materials stored in the Tortosa Museum<\/strong><\/a>‘s warehouses as part of the development of their respective doctoral thesis projects.<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
A thesis project focused on numismatic study<\/h6>\n

\u00d2scar Cald\u00e9s<\/a><\/strong> began his doctoral thesis in 2022, with a project titled “\u00bfMantenimiento, decadencia o adaptaci\u00f3n? Moneda y contexto arqueol\u00f3gico entre el Ebro y el J\u00facar durante la antig\u00fcedad tard\u00eda (c. 409 – 714 d. C.)” (“Maintenance, decline, or adaptation? Coinage and archaeological context between the Ebro and the J\u00facar during Late Antiquity (c. 409 – 714 AD)”), exploring the commercial dynamics in the Tortosa area during Late Antiquity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His project is co-directed by Josep Maria Macias<\/a> (ICAC-CERCA) and Ruth Pliego V\u00e1zquez<\/a> (University of Seville) and focuses especially on numismatic study.<\/p>\n

Cald\u00e9s<\/a> has been analyzing coins from city archaeological excavations and ancient collections for months. Thanks to the collaboration with the Tortosa Museum<\/a> (Tortosa City Council), he will be able to deepen his study of coins found during the archaeological excavations of the Cathedral Square and Croera Street, carried out by the company Iber Arqueologia, Patrimoni i Turisme SL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These pieces, amounting to a set of about 1,000 coins<\/strong>, form the largest pillar of Cald\u00e9s<\/a>‘ doctoral thesis and reveal significant commercial dynamics in Tortosa, especially during the 5th century AD, which are not seen, for example, in Tarragona.<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
A ceramological study in the regions of Tortosa and Valencia<\/h6>\n

Itziar Guti\u00e9rrez<\/a><\/strong>‘s thesis project is based on a detailed ceramological study of pottery from the Valencia and Tortosa areas, to systematize and analyze common pottery from the Late Antique period (6th \u2013 7th centuries AD). This type of pottery \u2014 which includes pots, pans, mortars, and plates \u2014 has been little studied until now, despite its predominance and variety.<\/p>\n

Guti\u00e9rrez<\/a> recently joined ICAC-CERCA as a predoctoral researcher thanks to a Joan Or\u00f3 grant (check the news here<\/a>). Her thesis project is co-directed by Josep Maria Macias<\/a> and Francesc Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>, from the MIRMED<\/a> research group of ICAC-CERCA.<\/p>\n

The analysis corpus is based on materials found at the Visigothic site of Valencia “la Vella”<\/a> (Riba-roja de T\u00faria, Valencia) since the beginning of ICAC-CERCA excavations in 2016 and will also consider materials from older excavations in nearby locations such as Alc\u00e0sser and B\u00e9tera, as well as a set of pieces preserved in the Tortosa Museum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

El nuevo acuerdo formaliza el estudio de materiales numism\u00e1ticos y ceramol\u00f3gicos conservados en el Museo de Tortosa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This agreement with the Tortosa City Council<\/a> not only facilitates access to archaeological materials for young researchers but also strengthens the relationship between academic and local institutions, thus contributing to a better understanding of Tortosa’s historical past and its importance in the context of Late Antiquity.<\/p>\n

Tenemos plena confianza en que la investigaci\u00f3n de \u00d2scar Cald\u00e9s<\/a> e Itziar Guti\u00e9rrez<\/a> revelar\u00e1 nuevas perspectivas sobre las din\u00e1micas comerciales y culturales de la regi\u00f3n, enriqueciendo el patrimonio hist\u00f3rico de la ciudad de Tortosa y de la zona de Valencia.<\/p>\n

We are confident that the research of \u00d2scar Cald\u00e9s<\/a> and Itziar Guti\u00e9rrez<\/a> will reveal new perspectives on the commercial and cultural dynamics of the region, enriching the historical heritage of the city of Tortosa and the Valencia area.<\/p>\n
