July 3 to 23 Take part in archaeological digs at two sites in Alhama de Murcia
A chance to help explore a 2600-year-old Argaric settlement and 8th-century Moorish structures in Alhama
During July 2023 two archaeological working digs are being held at very different sites close to Alhama de Murcia, with enthusiasts welcome to join in by registering at the Los Baños archaeological museum.
The first of the two digs runs from July 3 to 15 at the Argaric site of Cabecico de la Muela, a settlement which was established in approximately the 6th century BC, while the second is at the Moorish site of Las Paleras on the castle hill (dating from the 8th to the 10th century).
