Sobre el abastecimiento, la distribución y la evacuación hídrica en Gades

Abstract: Resumen: Desde el s. xvi algunos autores, como A. de Horozco y Suárez de Salazar, han abordado aspectos relativos al acueducto gaditano que ha ocupado capítulos en sus grandes obras. Esta construcción hidráulica ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios que han generado una notable producción bibliográfica. A pesar de ello, hasta la actualidad no se ha prestado atención a las estructuras hidráulicas romanas exhumadas en la capital gaditana. Esta situación sorprende más cuando se constata que, aunque el volumen de r… Show more

“…One of them is the aqueduct of Cádiz, the longest in the Peninsula (almost 75km), which crossed the bay into the island-city by means of several inverted siphons made of stone pipes that ran on the bottom of the lagoon, and the remains of which impressed even Islamic chroniclers (al-Makkari, I.6). Its course is roughly known thanks to recent surveys and excavations (Lara Medina 2018, and the evidence for hydraulic infrastructure within the city (sewers, cisterns) seems to suggest a second century abandonment date. Besides that, the whole city seems to have been greatly affected by events in the course of the third and fourth centuries, including the silting of the harbour, which had been in use since Phoenician times, and already the fourth century poet Avienus (267-8) mentions the city as: nunc egena, nunc brevis, nunc destituta, nunc ruinarum ager est = '[Cádiz] is now poor, now small, now abandoned, now a field of ruins'.…”

“…Esta tendencia ha mejorado notablemente en las últimas dos décadas gracias a hallazgos claves para la comprensión del pasado fenicio-púnico como es el caso del Teatro Cómico (Botto, 2014); y para época romana especialmente gracias a los trabajos sobre el mundo funerario en diacronía (Niveau y Gómez, 2010; Arévalo, 2016); la topografía urbana (Lara, 2019), espacios públicos como el Theatrum Balbi (Bernal-Casasola y Arévalo, 2011;Borrego, 2013), el sistema de abastecimiento, distribución, almacenamiento y evacuación hídrica de la ciudad (Lara, 2018a(Lara, y 2018b, las áreas domésticas de época imperial (Lara y Pascual, e. p.); o actividades industriales con el reciente hallazgo del "Testaccio haliéutico" de Gades (Bernal-Casasola y Vargas, 2019), por citar algunos casos paradigmáticos. Nos encontramos, por tanto, en un momento de aceleración positiva para la arqueología gaditana, en el cual se inserta la contribución que presentamos en estas páginas, que permite mostrar algunas novedades relevantes sobre la paleotopografía del archipiélago gaditano, derivadas de las recientes excavaciones arqueológicas en el Edificio Valcárcel, situado junto a la mítica playa de la Caleta.…”
