Wednesday 7 March, at 19.30 pm

Talk by Joaquim Bolufer, Director of the Xabia Museum
Excavation of the archaeological site of La Rana / Les Puntes

Between February 12 and 23, the first excavation campaign was carried out at the Rana / les Puntes archaeological site within the municipality of Gata. The intervention, promoted by the University Institute of Research in Archeology and Historical Heritage of the University of Alicante and the Museum of Xàbia, has been supported by the Town Hall of Gata and has been carried out with the participation of students of the university

The Rana site, known since the 90s, is a pottery from Roman times that produced various types of amphorae - especially flat base, type Galoise IV - as well as other common ceramics (dishes, jugs, jars, basins, etc ...) and construction materials.

Today, we will present some of the data obtained in this first campaign, which is still in the phase of inventory, classification and study.

Valencian "Pelota" - Talk - Wednesday 21 February, at 19.30 pm

2/16/2018

Wednesday 21 February, at 19.30 pm, at Museum
Talk by Josep Sapena, secretary of the Pilota Xàbia Club

The Valencian version of "pelota" or handball is unique to the Valencian Community. Two players or teams compete face to face following predetermined rules by throwing a ball (or pelota) by hand. The game, of ancient but uncertain origin, is mentioned in documents dating from the 14th century on. By the 16th century 13 trinquetes or pitches existed

However, football and other mass sports (supported by the communication media) put Valencian pelota out of fashion, with it only being played in the villages. Nowadays, the construction of new trinquetes and the efforts of clubs and individuals has brought about a revival of this unusual sport.

Josep Sapena, secretary of the Pilota Xàbia Club, will explain the characteristics of the game and its relevance to Xàbia
