The situation of Ibizan archaeological heritage will inaugurate the 'Xerrades Essencials' at Es Nàut

The discussion will take place this Friday, at 8 PM, in the social hall of CNSA, with the participation of the archaeologist Marcus Heinrich Hermanns.

This Friday, January 24, at 8 PM, the cycle of discussions at Club Nàutic Sant Antoni ‘Xerrades Essencials’ returns, in which the current situation of the Ibizan archaeological heritage that remains hidden, in private hands, will be analyzed. This thorny issue will be introduced by archaeologist Marcus Heinrich Hermanns, with moderation by journalist Xescu Prats.

The talk, titled ‘What do we do with hidden archaeological heritage?’, will focus especially on submerged heritage, which is Hermanns' great specialty, with the aim of finding new paths and proposing solutions so that the countless objects found on the seabed over time, which are partly scattered across many homes on the island, can at least be photographed, inventoried, and studied by researchers without their custodians risking losing them, as this vast collection of pieces constitutes a historical source of enormous scientific and educational value.

Hermanns will also explain the importance of submerged heritage in general and what relevance it receives in the public exhibition spaces of the island. Examples will also be provided of the different solutions that have been established in other national and foreign territories, so that all these pieces do not fall into oblivion.

The series takes place in the social hall of Es Nàutic and highlights women and men with an interesting vision about the evolution of Sant Antoni and Ibiza itself. Previous discussions have been dedicated to topics such as the Club of the Argonauts (the first agency that operated in Sant Antoni), the historic llaüt 'El Bohemio', the artist saga of the Hormigo family, the figure of Pep de na Mossona (creator of Hotel Portmany), the naval skirmish described in the book 'Galiotes! A forgotten battle', the historic Pensión Catalina, the drought in Ibiza, the documentary about the Civil War by José Luis Mir, and the experiences of rally driver Toni Vingut. It is an activity open to the entire public of the island, with free access until full capacity is reached.
