Heritage and historical inaccuracies in Spanish municipal records
The VII Encounters with Archaeological Heritage, organized by ASPHA and the Jerez City Council, recently highlighted the relationship between humans and food through historical artifacts. Featured items include Chalcolithic clay ladles and funnels from El Trobal, Roman wine amphorae used for maritime transport, 15th-century blown glass tableware from medieval Jerez, and an Almohad ataifor from Mesas de Asta used for communal dining.
In Algeciras, the Association of Algeciras Heritage Entrepreneurs (AEPA 2015) has identified several errors in street signage regarding local historical figures. Investigations by Professor Roberto Godino Hurtado reveal that signs for Coronel Ceballos and Teniente Maroto contain incorrect biographical data, such as wrong birth and death dates or misattributed political affiliations. The association notes that these inaccuracies have persisted despite being reported to municipal authorities.
