Joint statement of COAMU Heritage Commission and Civic Platform in defense of the archaeological heritage of San Esteban public platform to defend the site of San Esteban (Murcia) requested a meeting with the Heritage Commission of the Colegio de Arq (13/05/2010)

At 17:30 pm on Thursday April 29 met both groups, reaching agreement on the following points:

We consider the complex Palatine and St. Stephen's Andalusian district as:

a.

A Symbolic Space - The discovery of the Deposit of San Esteban is a historic opportunity for the city and the region of Murcia in the face to reverse the trend of neglect by the citizens of Andalusian origin and recognition of this and the equity of authorities.

Over time have made important interventions in this area, but no effective enhancement to face recognition.

b.

A Public Space and Coexistence - The Administration should restore them to provide citizens a public forum usable by all people, in replacement of the old garden of San Esteban, with a unique opportunity to get the double chance with the involvement not only restore this public space, but give it a use and cultural and heritage value.

c.

An Area of Citizen Participation - It must recognize the actions and involvement of citizen participation in decisions taken on the area of San Esteban and the inalienable right of citizens to defend the urban space in which they wish to live.

d.

Educational and historical space - suggest the need for that space will be recognized the value as "historical documents", as it will provide new information both historical and urban anthropology, and can be a catalyst of the research for Medieval Murcia educational and cultural institutions like the University of Murcia.

To this is added value for tourism, which results in this cultural interest.

To make the Site of St. Stephen to become in all these areas, we propose the following route:

a.

Establish a training schedule realistic and appropriate to the means, and purpose intended.

b. Continue the excavation as proposed in their day experts meeting at the Palacio de San Esteban with our Community President Mr. Valcárcel, continue with the intervention and protection of different areas in the most convenient, continuing gradually putting in value as determined schedule.

c.

Give the field the value of Archaeological Hall, completing all the necessary research and considering it as an area of practical training for university students

d.

This enhancement condition must be accompanied by tours and information for future actions were visited and understandable to everyone.

It is necessary to create a multidisciplinary team consisting of architects, archaeologists, restorers and conservators or curators especially with a director or team leader on the sidelines of the administrative supervision, to write and direct the project continuously for action and intervention at the site of San Esteban.

The project can not be addressed solely from the perspective of conservation, and the need for a comprehensive project to continue the excavation, then move on to the protection, and these two steps being a start value thereof, as requested platform in its submissions to the City Council and the General Directorate of Fine Arts and Cultural Assets.

The importance of value as historical documents and continuous knowledge of all factors, is essential to ensure the continuity of the team.

Conclusions:

a.

The big surprise of the site of St. Stephen with its expansion and maintenance, has been to discover an unknown urban fabric in a clear, authentic and almost sensory get you closer to understanding the city of Murcia and culture in medieval times.

You have discovered unknown urban developments in the thirteenth century, high degree of development in areas that were thought of little interest.

Therefore, the future involvement with the routes for this purpose are established, should serve as a reference center, complementary to the existing Museum (Las Claras, Santa Eulalia, San Juan), for the understanding of the Andalusian city.

b.

Prior to the convening of the contest will be announced to complete investigations in the reservoir, in order to clearly define the specification of the same: intentions exhibition, interior routes, stratigraphic interpretation of the excavation, classification and exhibition of uncovered interest , determining the urban fabric, character of the buildings found, possible reconstruction of one of them, possible reconstruction of urban environments, spaces of light, shade areas, precise determination of points of support of new structures.

Ultimately clearly define the parameters of what is to expose and how, not having to submit future exposure to a solution reservoir capricious and lack of rigor.
