Description
It involves the excavation of an entire building next to an early Christian basilica, on the banks of the Roman port, built during the later Empire and occupied until the decline of the city around the eighth century A.D.
Potential partners
Preferably archaeologists or university professors with endorsement of their department.
Potential partners requirements

Methodological planning

b) In the place of origin of potential partners -preferably universities-, during the teaching period and as part of the credits and university subjects: study of stratigraphy, preparation of a GIS system and treatment of the inventory of archaeological objects.
c) Publication of the obtained results in international publications and congresses.
