Annotations

This area was used as a necropolis for more than 200 years, at least until the end of the 3rd century. 

Nine buildings, enclosures and other funerary monuments were found here, on both sides of the secondary cobblestone and very close to the main road . 

One hundred years later, near the beginning of the 4th century, stones began to be removed from the necropolis , although people continued to bury their loved ones in the area. 

Finally, as the 5th century approached, this area became rural, and what remained of the funerary buildings was adapted by farmers for their agricultural holdings.
