Sasamón archaeologists discover 2,000-year-old Roman kitchen
Archaeologists have uncovered a Roman kitchen in Sasamón, Burgos, dating between the late 1st century BC and the early 1st century AD. The discovery was made during excavations at the La Era site near the Santa María la Real church.
The find is part of a long-term research project conducted by the Institute of Archaeology of Mérida and the University of Salamanca to study the ancient city of Segisamo. Excavated items include an oven, ash, charcoal, and various domestic tools such as storage vessels, jars, bowls, mortars, and fragments of a 'clibanus' (a portable bread oven).
Researchers noted that the site reveals a blend of Roman-inspired items and ceramics belonging to the indigenous Turmoga population, illustrating the cultural transformation of the region following the Roman arrival.
