Plaça de les Bruixes Iberian Archaeological Site
Highlight • Historical Site
The archaeologists found that there was a disconnection between the two sites: the Plaça de les Bruixes I was dated between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC and the Plaça de les Bruixes II, between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, a chronology that corresponds with the transformations of the first period of Roman colonization and the restructuring of the traditional Iberian economic system. This last site was the one that presented the least problems of interpretation and, due to the chronology and the structures that appeared, it was hypothesized that it was a small settlement with an agricultural function dependent on another larger one or some structures belonging to a Roman villa.
The urbanization of Riera Nova in 1998 led to an urgent archaeological intervention in the Plaça de les Bruixes I site, where a pit was detected with large quantities of Iberian ceramic material that allowed it to be linked with some kind of oven in the surrounding area, but without any type of structure related to this function or any kind of habitat being documented. In 2002, restoration work was carried out on the whole complex, which was declared a Cultural Property of Local Interest.
