Vacceo-Roman burials discovered in Spain's Pintia archaeological site
The Pintia site in Padilla de Duero (Valladolid) continues to offer new discoveries that shed light on the era of the Vaccea, Roman and Visigothic occupation at the 125 hectare archaeological site. In June, a series of excavations began, which are scheduled to continue until the end of August, and which have led to the discovery of four tombs dating from the 2nd century BC in the Roman Vacceo necropolis of Las Ruedas.
