The Cabildo de Fuerteventura and the autonomous body Museos de Tenerife have resumed archaeological work at the Lobos I site, thanks to a new agreement signed between both institutions.
After the results obtained during the archaeological excavation already carried out in the Lobos I and II sites, both organizations resume some works of international relevance, since it is these investigations that would determine the presence of the Romans in the Archipelago. The excavation will take two weeks.
In the previous surveys, the archaeological data obtained show the presence of a purple production workshop from Roman times, dated between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
In the shell shed and its surroundings, materials of Roman manufacture have been located, both ceramics made on a lathe, as well as metallic pieces of bronze, iron, lead and lithics, related to the work of the purple process. In addition, in other areas of the site, objects related to domestic activity are recorded, such as kitchen ceramics and tableware, among others.
