The city of Tarragona houses an important architectural heritage mainly from its past as ‘Tarraco’, capital of the Roman province of Hispania Citerior, but also from its medieval and late 19th century history. The archaeological ensemble of Tarraco was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, but although many efforts have been devoted by archaeologists and historians to unveil and understand the history and aspect of the Roman city, many aspects remain unknown. This is largely caused by the absence of a coherent body of historiographical material, which is todays cattered across several institutions and, specially, the lack of precise and useful graphical representations of the remains and of the existing city that allows in-depth analysis and interpretations of future findings. In recent years, researchers from the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) and the Architecture School of the URV (ETSA) have teamed up to produce comprehensive, detailed graphic materials, including a new set of plans and sections of the old city, of the grandiose areas of representation of the Provincial capital, and of the hidden structures beneath the city’s surface. These have been executed with the latest technologies (fotogrammetry, laser scanning) but also with traditional methods (measurement, topography), on t op of a mixture of existing materials (hand-drafted cartography from municipal master plans) and of historical and archaeological documentation.

La catedral de Tarragona es el edificio más importante de la Edad Media en la ciudad. Se asienta en una zona arqueológica de primera magnitud como es la parte alta de Tarragona, en medio de la gran plaza del recinto de culto imperial de Tarraco, lugar en el cual después se erigió la sede visigoda de la ciudad. La ejecución del Plan Director de la Catedral de Tarragona, proyecto de los arquitectos Joan Figuerola y Joan Gavaldà, conlleva la realización de una serie de importantes actuaciones arqueológicas tanto en el subsuelo como en arqueología vertical. Con esta comunicación presentamos un primer avance de los trabajos realizados entre los años 2000 y 2002, con la siguiente evolución: época flavia (construcción del recinto sagrado imperial, con restos conservados de nueve metros de alto); antigüedad tardía (desmontaje del recinto de culto y construcción de nuevas estancias posiblemente relacionables con la ocupación habitada de la zona -¿episcopio?-); edad media (construcción de la canóniga cardenalicia y templo sobr el antiguo emplazamiento cultural romano. Estructura monástica adaptada a los precedentes romanos. Apertura de capillas en el claustro); época moderna y contemporánea (reformas y transformaciones de la catedral).

An integrated geophysical survey was conducted in September 2007 at the Cathedral of Tarragona (Catalonia, NE Spain), to search for archaeological remains of the Roman temple dedicated to the Emperor Augustus. Many hypotheses about its location have been put forward, the most recent ones suggesting it could be inside the present cathedral. Tarragona’s Cathedral, one of the most famous churches in Spain (12th century), was built during the evolution from the Romanesque to Gothic styles. As its area is rather wide, direct digging to detect hidden structures would be expensive and also interfere with religious services. Consequently, the use of detailed non-invasive analyses was preferred. A project including Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and Ground probing radar (GPR) was planned for a year and conducted during a week of intensive field survey. Both ERT and GPR provided detailed information about subsoil structures. Different ERT techniques and arrays were used, ranging from standard Wenner-Schlumberger 2D sections to full 3D electrical imaging using the MYG array. Electrical resistivity data were recorded extensively, making available many thousands of apparent resistivity points to obtain a complete 3D image after full inversion. The geophysical results were clear enough to persuade the archaeologists to excavate the area. The excavation confirmed the geophysical interpretation. In conclusion, the significant buried structures revealed by geophysical methods under the cathedral were confirmed by recent archaeological digging as the basement of the impressive Roman Temple that headed the Provincial Forum of Tarraco, seat of the Concilium of Hispania Citerior Province.

Since the classic study of Simon J. Keay published in 1984, knowledge of late Roman amphorae has progressed markedly, thanks to scholars such as Michel Bonifay and Paul Reynolds, amongst others. The area studied by Keay was Catalonia, the ancient Eastern Tarraconensis. The overview here offered for this same region reveals the central role played by African imports in late Antique times, with a minor presence of the Eastern-Mediterranean and South-Hispanic (both Baetican and Lusitanian) productions. Progress in research in the last 25 years has been centred on a series of new and well-dated contexts: the data they have yielded has clarified more precisely the chronology and the proportions of the different imports. On occasion a quantitative approach may even be applied. At the same time the relationship between town and country with respect to the late Roman amphorae is proving of interest and providing results of significance.

S’estudia una inscripció funerària d’una verge consagrada anomenada Thecla d’origen egipci que va ser enterrada en una de les basíliques funeràries que existien en el segle v a ponent de Tarraco. Es revisa el que s’ha escrit sobre aquesta important inscripció els darrers vint anys, i s’analitzen de nou les característiques de l’epígraf (paleografia, formulari, etc.). Finalment, es conclou que no hi ha relació entre aquesta Thecla i el culte implantat en època medieval a santa Tecla com a patrona de Tarragona, en contra del que han proposat alguns autors.

L'objectiu del Treball és establir una relació entre l'antic traçat del riu Llobregat al seu pas per diverses poblacions de Catalunya enclavades a la Comarca del Baix Llobregat i els jaciments arqueològics datats a l'època romana amb la perspectiva de la utilització de la via fluvial com element de transport.Per a l'anàlisi de les ubicacions de les diferents entitats geogràfiques s'utilitza una eina de programariespecífica: Sistema d'Informació Geogràfica (SIG) amb la qual es construirà el nostre sistema dereferència per extreure les conclusions oportunes.
