Uxama Argaela

Uxama Argaela was a Celtiberian, and subsequently Roman, city located on El Castro hill, overlooking the present town of El Burgo de Osma in Soria [1]. The city covers two plateaus with an area of 28 ha [1]. The walls, protected by rectangular towers, can be seen to the north east and south of the city [1]. The most important monuments are the Mina (section of a drain), cisterns, baths, and a basilica with mosaics [1]. In the Portugui vineyards part of an extensive Celtiberian cemetery has been excavated, with incineration graves of the 3rd-2nd century BC [1]. Finds are numerous and significant, and are displayed in the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, the Numantine Museum in Soria and the National Army Museum in Toledo [1].
