However, to date, only minimal excavation work has been performed at the site. Evaluation requires a preliminary, non-destructive general analysis to determine high-interest areas. This stage required a geophysical survey. Specifically, a 100 m 2 grid was selected, where an initial campaign of nine electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) profiles was performed, where each profile was 111 m in length; these profiles were previously located using a detailed topographical survey. A total of 112 electrodes were used for each profile, spaced at 1 m apart with a Wenner-Schlumberger configuration. Secondly, 201 GPR profiles were created using a 500 MHz antenna. The 100 m long profiles were spaced 0.5 m apart and parallel to one another. The present research analyses the efficiency of each of these geophysical tools in supporting archaeological research. Using these methodologies, the position, morphology, and depth of different buried structures can be determined. 3D interpretation of the geophysical survey in 100 × 100 m grid allowed to differentiate structures square and rectangular, interesting buildings in a semicircle (interpreted as ovens) plus delineate different streets. From the geophysical survey follows the Carthaginian presence inside this ancient Iberian enclave.

Su potente muralla de tipo barrera presenta una escala de dimensiones y envergadura superior a las descritas para estos sistemas de defensa en las ciudades protohistóricas pertenecientes al área de la Cultura Ibérica, además la posible presencia de un dispositivo de compartimentos presenta una interesante fi liación cartaginesa. Una reciente fotografía aérea y una breve campaña de limpieza han permitido mejorar la imagen del diseño general de la fortifi cación que complementa los detalles ya descritos en anteriores trabajos como resultado de un levantamiento topográfi co preciso.
