New archaeology campus in La Noguera

06/03/2015

The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, through its Centre for the Study of Prehistoric Archaeological Heritage (CEPAP) and represented by Dr Paloma González, has been working closely with the Camarasa City Council in the field of archaeological research, dissemination and knowledge transfer since 2004. This collaboration gave way to the creation of the Espai Orígens interpretation centre, digs and guided visits with the aid of tablets to the site of Roca dels Bous. It also led to the initiative of the Archaeological Park of Sant Llorenç de Montgai. All three areas are managed by the Association for Research and Dissemination of Historic Heritage (ARPDH).
 
The creation of the UAB Archaeology Campus in La Noguera will facilitate research and scientific developments in the field of archaeology and national heritage. In addition, it will be a crucial element of the region's archaeological heritage with which to disseminate scientific results in academic spheres and to the public in general, while also contributing to the promotion of the Roca dels Bous site as an area of reference.

The signing of the agreement included the presence of Montserrat Miret, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Culture of the Camarasa City Council; Pilar Dellunde, Vice Rector for Research at the UAB; Manel Sabés, Vice Rector for Institutional Relations and Environment; and Violant Cervera and Antoni Balasch, members of parliament for Lleida.
 
With the creation of the Archaeology Campus, the UAB aims to contribute to the valorisation of Catalonia's cultural heritage and the work done by archaeological groups in sites around the country.
