Marine archaeology in Xábia

“WEDNESDAYS FOR THE CURIOUS”
The first in an irregular series of informal talks and tours in the Museum of Xàbia

Wednesday 30 October 2013 at 19:00 in the Museum

Marine archaeology in Xábia

led by Joaquim Bolufer, 
Xàbia’s Muncipal Archaeologist 
Director of the Museum of Xàbia 
and President of the Amics del Museu de Xàbia.

Our recent visit to the excavations in Els Poblets of a Roman ‘factory’ for making amphores brought to life the Roman artefacts displayed in our Museum. Amphoras, ceramics of every type, anchors of stone, lead or iron and remains of vessels have been found in several places on our coast. The extremely favourable location and unique geographic characteristics.of Xàbia has been responsible for its ancient and long history of commercial contacts with many places in the  Mediterranean and other areas.
 
Ximo Bolufer will put them in context and elaborate on the Roman period locally.
Stay and enjoy a drink and an informal chat afterwards
