Investigated transition from Celtiberian city to Roman.

In Burgos, Spain, researchers have been excavating for three years to understand the transition from the Celtiberian city of Klounioq to the Roman city of Clunia. Current hypotheses suggest that Roman troops did not conquer Klounioq but that it was gradually abandoned, possibly due to the allure of the nearby Roman city. Recent excavations revealed a unique Arévaca defensive tower and a significant iron and copper workshop from the 2nd century BC, which is among the largest ever found in the Iberian Peninsula. Artifacts included tools, metal objects, and a rare air tube used in metalworking. The research will continue next summer.
