Next Saturday, March 28th will take place at the University of Navarra the workshop of Archaeology "Romanization in the Pyrenees: urbanism, material culture and infrastructure in the Pyrenees environment in Roman times". More than 30 students have registered, coming from the Universities of Pau, Complutense de Madrid, Zaragoza, Granada, UNED, Navarra and high school Cardenal Larraona of Pamplona.

The workshop is organized by the School of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Navarra, the Uncastillo Foundation and the Université de Pau et des Pays d'Adour. Its goal, in the words of Javier Andreu, professor of Ancient History and Archaeology, and promoter of the workshop, is"to make a territorial and very informative approach to the main archaeological developments that, in subject of urbanization, are taking place in the environment of the Pyrenees both in its westernmost area as in the east and in the Aquitaine".

The workshop will review the current situation of the research in archaeological subject with respect to three major areas, the central Pyrenees - with the presentation of the surprising project of the Roman city of "Iulia Lybica", in the Catalan Cerdanya-, the Aragonese and Navarre Pre-Pyrenees -, in which students from the University of Navarra do archaeology internships - and the "Aquitaine" around whose Roman settlement the Université de Pau is working intensively.

The workshop will also be the closing of the IV Spanish-French Workshop on the Archaeology of Los Bañales, which began last Monday and in which students from the Université de Pau and several doctoral students from the Program at Arts and Humanities of the School of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Navarra are participating.

The schedule is available on the web.
