The field development work will be carried out in the site of The Paleras Cerro del Castillo that has been excavated since 2006. During these years has documented the existence of a citadel and walled town of Emirate times ( late eighth century until the mid-tenth century).
Both the architecture and the ceramic and archaeobotanical findings bring us closer to the daily life of these centuries, both as a quadrangular citadel on the set of houses surrounded by a perimeter wall.
The rooms have been built with stone plinths and land locked with packed dirt floors.
The decline and abandonment of the site around the year 950, seems to agree with documented a large fire around the site.
The actions will be developed for this field of work will be directed to the excavation zones determined by the investigation and the consolidation and restoration of the walls and plastered with more problems of deterioration.
