The archaeological site of El Bebedero occupies a depression that is highly suitable for human settlement, as evidenced by the large number of archaeological remains found there and the extensive stratigraphic sequence that encloses them. Four excavation campaigns have been conducted at the site (1985, 1987, 1990, and 2010), revealing a wealth of data, including archaeological, paleontological, and environmental findings.
Some of the information gathered has been crucial for understanding the early history of the Canary Islands, particularly in relation to the connections between the Canary Islands and Mediterranean cultures during Late Antiquity.
Within the stratigraphic layers of El Bebedero, nearly a hundred pottery fragments, made on a wheel, have been found. These belong to large amphorae containers. Additionally, various metal artifacts made of iron, copper, and bronze, along with a glass bead, were discovered. The stratigraphic position of these elements, along with C14 dating, typological studies, and petrological, metallographic, and vitreous analyses, allowed researchers to confirm their primary attribution to Roman culture, with a time span ranging from the end of the Roman Republic to the early Roman Empire.
