The excavations yielded numer-ous ceramic findings from the residential and thermal area, as well as the industrial sector of the site, which represents one of the largest complexes of fish processing in the Iberian Peninsula of the Roman period. These finds constitute the most reliable indicator of the chronological evolution of this Roman site. The study of the terra sigillata assemblage allows us to date the Ro-man presence at the site between the end of the 1st century AD and the end of the 5th century AD, as well as to identify main trade links and peaks of importation.
