This book explores the history and archaeological heritage of the southwest coast of the Isla Gaditana – the territory where the Temple of Hercules and the Idol of Cadiz are said to have stood for more than twelve centuries: Torregorda, Camposoto and Sancti Petri.
Este libro explora el proceso historico y el patrimonio arqueologico en la costa suroeste de la Isla Gaditana. Es una investigacion historico-arqueologica sobre la ocupacion prehistorica, la construccion del paisaje y el patrimonio. Expone una aproximacion al territorio donde se sostiene que el Templo de Hercules y el Idolo de Cadiz permanecieron en pie mas de doce siglos: el sector Torregorda – Camposoto – Sancti Petri. El texto examina la ocupacion por sociedades paleoliticas, neoliticas, del Bronce y de tiempos historicos, mediante acreditadas investigaciones. Ademas analiza la construccion del paisaje por motivos geologicos, sedimentarios y humanos desde el asentamiento fenicio. La region historica del Estrecho de Gibraltar, considerada final del “mundo conocido” hasta la Edad Moderna, es estudiada como puente intercontinental y cultural. El nucleo del trabajo es la revision de 32 grupos de vestigios, clasificados segun factores comunicacionales, estrategicos y ambientales. Esto incluye el yacimiento subacuatico del Castillo de Sancti Petri que se suele asociar con el Templo de Hercules. Mediante manuscritos de archivos gaditanos, el libro documenta elementos tales como la emergencia de vestigios subacuaticos del Templo o la construccion de canales y arquitectura defensiva. Y mediante pinturas rupestres se examinan los origenes de la navegacion a vela cerca de Gibraltar. El ultimo capitulo recomienda prospectar el cruce milenario del Cano de Rio Arillo con la Calzada de la Alcantarilla.
