The archaeological collection

The archaeological works of the last 30 years in Gipuzkoa have been briefly compiled and published in 7 books.

13 experts in archaeology have been working for two years to complete the collection that the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa has published about the studies carried out in the territory.

CARLOS OLAETXEA; coordinator of the collection: In this collection we wanted to collect a summary of the works carried out in the last 30 years. it consists of 7 volumes, each corresponding to an era.

The collection of books begins in the Paleolithic period and ends in industrial archaeology. Among
them, the Neolithic, the Iron Age, the archaeology of the Roman period, the Middle Ages, and the 16th, Archaeology from the 17th and 18th centuries is studied.

CARLOS OLAETXEA; coordinator of the collection: It is true that there will be a lot of data for scholars in these books that will serve them well for their research, but at the same time we have tried to do it for a wider audience. To do this, we have asked the authors to use simple writing, along with a large collection of photographs and images in each book.

More than 180 illustrations have been included in each book to facilitate reading.

CARLOS OLAETXEA; coordinator of the collection: What we want is for all these activities that have been paid for with public money to be socialized and for people to know what has been done in these excavations and what the results of these 30 years have been.

Many excavations are still underway, we hope that new ones will be opened, so later on, on the basis of this, we will have the opportunity to make a new summary in 10 or 15 years.

The entire collection will go on sale for 80 euros. The books can also be purchased individually for 20 euros.
