The gateway to Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This Gallaecian settlement<\/strong> dates back to the 8th century BC and was a communication and exchange route between the Mediterranean and Europe, long before the Romanisation of Galicia.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 15,000 pieces<\/strong> in the Museum of Pontevedra attest to the intense commercial relationship with the peoples of the Mediterranean from the 6th century BC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Phoenicians and Carthaginians<\/strong> brought metal tools, the round mill, ceramics and jewellery in exchange for tin, silver and furs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Half a book on the history of Galicia <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The remains found at the A Lanzada site<\/strong> are of exceptional value, covering half a book on Galician history, from the 8th century BC to the Middle Ages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The hundred or so skeletons<\/strong> that have been found in its two cemeteries constitute the greatest contribution to Galician anthropology due to their large number and excellent conservation thanks to the sandy soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Much remains to be excavated<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The excavations carried out so far represent only a tenth of what <\/strong>has already been confirmed is buried there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The georadar and laboratory studies point to up to 107 new constructions<\/strong>, which will be subjected to further archaeological excavations that will help to better understand this important enclave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The archaeologists are looking<\/strong> for the remains of the Monastery of Santa Mar\u00eda de Lanceata,<\/strong> mentioned in medieval texts conserved in the archives of the Cathedral of Santiago. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" En este lugar hay que se\u00f1alar el descubrimiento de una necr\u00f3polis y un castro cuyas excavaciones comenzaron en los a\u00f1os cincuenta.
