Andorran Cultural Heritage Begins Archaeological Intervention at the Old Areny Forge in Ordino
November 6, 2024
The Andorran Cultural Heritage Department will commence an archaeological intervention at the site of the old Areny forge in Ordino on Monday. The aim of the intervention is to study and document the remains of the forge, which date back to the 17th century.
The Areny forge was one of the most important ironworking centers in Andorra, and it played a vital role in the country’s economy. The forge was used to produce tools, weapons, and other iron goods. It was also used to mint coins.
The forge was abandoned in the 19th century, and the remains have since been covered by vegetation. However, recent excavations have revealed the foundations of the forge and other structures.
The archaeological intervention will be carried out by a team of archaeologists from the Andorran Cultural Heritage Department. The team will use a variety of techniques to study the remains, including excavation, photography, and drawing.
The results of the intervention will be used to create a detailed record of the Areny forge. This record will be used to inform future conservation and management decisions.
The intervention is expected to last for several months. During this time, the site will be closed to the public.
