The councilman of Culture, Nicolas del Toro and director of the Municipal Archaeological Museum, Francisco Peñalver, presented a workshop on applied archeology to be undertaken by seven students of the Institute of Cehegín Alquipir who excavated over a month one of the eastern gates of the site of Begastri, dating from the late age.
These youngsters, who attend 4 ° ESO will be led by those responsible for the excavation, Jose Antonio Zapata and Jose Antonio Molina, who expect to come to light "buried structures that appeared in the soundings were made at the site" According to these.
For four weeks, "students will behave like real archaeologists, as cataloged all the tiles that appear in the 1.5 meters deep, about those who get digging" have informed the directors.
