A Roman and a Punic necropolis with grave goods found in a site in Bahía Blanca, Cadiz, Andalusia

The 14 tombs made of ashlars and masonry stand out, together with pieces of carnelian, vitreous and gold-plated bronze from the 5th and 6th century BC.


Punic burial sites with the skeletal remains in the background

According to sources close to the excavation has come to light, on the one hand, a necropolis of Roman times (first century BC to II AD) with several burial and cremation graves, as a result of preventive archaeological work carried out by the Abu Group for the construction of 16 houses on this site. Along with these remains were found some furnishings such as glass ointments, ceramics and some skylights.

But the most recent and interesting finding belongs to the Punic period (V and IV B.C.), in which the set of 14 tombs made with ashlars and masonry, similar to the 12 burials that appeared ten years ago in the grounds of Subdelegación, is framed. Most of the tombs that make up this set with human remains inside were plundered, while others were intact, so that some sets of grave goods have been found in full, as well as other scattered fragments. Of the total, several pieces of carnelian have been extracted, some gold-plated bronze objects, as well as elements of vitreous paste, all of them very common in Punic times in Gadir. All these and others that are yet to be detailed are outside the site and in the process of custody of the Provincial Museum of Cadiz.

The last finding of the necropolis

Recently there was another discovery linked to the Roman necropolis of Cadiz. Very close to this site, in the villa of the Porteña, a columbarium appeared in perfect state of preservation, which was dedicated to collective burial by incineration in urns inside funerary niches or what they call Loculi. The size of the important structure that was found in April is 3.10 meters long, 2.30 meters wide and 1.30 meters deep. Since the end of September it has been on display in the Kotinoussa Park in Cadiz, together with the rest of the open-air necropolis that this archaeological park in the city
treasures.

En Cádiz levantan una piedra y encuentran restos arqueológicos, muchos como el de la foto en décadas anteriores ni se llegaban a estudiar como es debido, parece ser una fábrica de salazones, construyeron encima, la morfología de Cádiz no se puede permitir otra cosa.
