Abstract
Carteia, in Roman times, was a city focused to the exploitation of sea resources, as enlightened by classical literature and monetary iconography show us. This paper presents the first results of the excavation project we are carrying out in the salting quarter of Carteia, aimed at furthering this line of research. Specifically, the campaign carried out in September 2022 focused on extending our knowledge of the existing salting workshops in the so-called ‘Jardín Romántico’, excavated by Santa Olalla. Thanks to the excavations that have been carried out, we have been able to obtain the first stratigraphic contexts that have allowed us to confirm an early abandonment of the space during the High Imperial period.
