The Caldereta de Tinache site includes an area that was almost entirely destroyed in the 1970s due to the extraction of sedimentary fill for the construction of sand-filled enclosures.

In the summer of 2005, a first excavation campaign was conducted, followed by a second in 2010. The damage suffered by the site significantly reduced the intact areas where archaeological remains in primary position could be found. However, the presence of robust stratigraphic profiles, very similar to those observed at El Bebedero and other sites on the island, provided a chronological sequence for human occupation at the site, beginning in the second century AD during the Roman phase and continuing until the 11th century AD. Additionally, the depth and structure of the profiles allowed researchers to observe significant environmental changes over the last two millennia, with notable alterations occurring after the turn of the era, coinciding with the arrival of Roman or Romanized peoples from the Strait of Gibraltar region.
