description The ongoing investigations at the Silla del Papa site (Tarifa, Cádiz) have uncovered a large urban nucleus, located at the summit of Sierra de la Plata. This town, the original Baelo, was transferred to the coast early in the reign of Augustus. The excavations carried out in 2014-2016 have made it possible to fix the date of its abandonment more precisely, at between 40 and 20 BCE, to examine the layout of the town from the Republican era, which is characterised by multi-storeyed houses backing onto rock, and to uncover a crematorium used between the end of the 3rd century BCE until the end of the 1st century BCE, unique in Baetia, with two types of monuments: tumular and turriform.
