Events

On Friday the University of Granada presented "The persistence memory of water in the Mediterranean landscapes" by J.M. Martín Civantos, MEMOLA coordinator. On Saturday the University of Sheffield and Arqueoandalusí Arqueología y Patrimonio presented the poster "Hydraulic landscape of the territory of Trapani (MEMOLA Project)" by Rocco Corselli and Mª Teresa Bonet García.

Soil samples were started in the area of the Colli Euganei. Dr. Cristiano Nicosia and students from the University of Padua made coring of land in the orchards and vineyards of the Monastery of Praglia. The goal is to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental sequence and land use of the landscape created with the founding of the monastery in the eleventh century

Arqueoandalusí. Arqueología y Patrimonio visited the traditional irrigation channel of Lanteira (Granada) with the Local Irrigator Community . This visit we will allow to prepare the field work "the recovery of traditional irrigation channel" in April with the High School Emilio Muñoz students.

The October 26, the UNIPD partner has conducted a laboratory of landscape archaeology through the techniques of Remote Sensing (aerial photo, LiDAR) with the students of the IIS Euganeo at Este. In the lab the students have known the usefulness of the images from remote sensing techniques for the study of cultural landscapes.

After a brief introduction on the objectives of the MEMOLA project  at the Euganean Hills, we have explained how to analyze LiDAR images. The students, in groups of 4, have compared historical and current aerial photos with LiDAR, noting and marking on this images all the anomalies regarding the transformation of the landscape in the area (ancient watercourses, old viability, possible castles). Once analyzed they have presented to the rest of the class their findings.

You have done perfect guys!!!

The University of Granada‬ participated in the JIA 2015 VIII Young Researchers in Archaeology Conference at Lisboa with the poster "The Three-dimensional ‪‎archaeological‬ record in the MEMOLA project" by Pablo Romero Pellitero and José Caballero López,  and with the communication "‪Archaeology‬ & ‪Education‬: Bringing the ‪cultural‬ ‪landscapes‬ to ‪schools‬" by Lara Delgado Anés.

Arqueoandalusí. Arqueología y Patrimonio and the University of Granada held a guided tour for the Aldeire School Students to the ‪archaeological‬ ‪excavation‬ "Pago del Jarafí" at ‪Lanteira‬, ‪Granada‬.

Next monday the University of Padova  runs a laboratory of landscapes archaeology through Remote Sensing at the school IIS Euganeo in Este, in the field of education on cultural landscapes addressed by MEMOLA project in 2015

From 12 to 15 October 2015, UCO, UNIPA and UNIPD teams, have analyzed the three sample areas chosen for the pedological, botanical and agronomic study in the Euganean Hills:
1) The gardens of the Benedictine monastery of Praglia, where we interviewed the abbot Norberto, and the archivist of the monastery Mr. Guillermo who explained what was the historical agricultural management and how they do now;
2) The vineyards of Campagnola and Villa Alessi agritourisms at Faedo, where the typical wine of the Hills -the Moscato- is made, and where they have recovered the types of traditional vineyards of Colli that had been lost;
3) The terraced landscape of the old Castle of Baone, which is evaluating the change in land use from the Napoleonic land register of 1828 until today.

Arqueoandalusí. Arqueología y Patrimonio and the University of Granada held a guided tour for the Camilo Camús Garzón School Students to the ‪archaeological‬ ‪excavation‬ "Pago del Jarafí" at ‪Lanteira‬, ‪Granada‬.

On Saturday the University of Granada and Arqueoandalusí. Arqueología y Patrimonio  organised a guided ‪tour‬ to the ‪archaeological‬ excavation of ‪Lanteira‬ (‪Granada‬‬), with the collaboration of the Lanteira Town Hall.
