It wasn\u2019t possible to confirm this as they have been largely flattened. Even so, this idea is backed up by the presence inside the settlement of a wall parallel to the city wall that forms an entrance passage leading to a second gate, which was found to be sealed.<\/p>\n<p>The structures preserved inside the settlement are totally unknown as the area was found covered by a thick layer of stones whose purpose could not be explained. The dating of the various associated articulated animal remains gave a date for it during the last occupation phase.<\/p>\n<p>As a hypothesis, it was suggested that the layer of stones could have something to do with reinforcing the area or sealing it off in the settlement\u2019s final moments, but we shall have to wait for future campaigns to be able to corroborate this.<\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"slideshow_container slideshow_container_style-light\" data-slideshow-id=\"1117\" data-style-name=\"style-light\" data-style-version=\"2.5.20\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_loading_icon\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_view\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_slide slideshow_slide_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.puigciutat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/foto_30_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Fill level from the Late Roman Republican Period\" width=\"1040\" height=\"500\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_description_box slideshow_transparent\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_title\">Fill level from the Late Roman Republican Period<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_description\">Decembre 2014.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_view\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_slide slideshow_slide_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.puigciutat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/foto_28_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Western part of the trench\" width=\"1040\" height=\"500\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_description_box slideshow_transparent\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_title\">Western part of the trench<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow_description\">Structures dated from the Late Roman Republican Period can be observed.
