«La gestión de los residuos en Augusta Emerita» is the archaeological study by Jesús Acero Pérez on sanitation in the Roman colony of Mérida, published by the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas in paperback (437 pages, in Spanish).
The book addresses a little-studied aspect of Roman archaeology: sanitation systems and waste management in Augusta Emerita, capital of the province of Lusitania. Based on excavations and documentation, it analyses practices of wastewater evacuation, urban cleaning, public health and the environmental impact of the city between the 1st century BC and the 7th century AD. It pays special attention to underground infrastructures, traditionally ignored in favour of monuments and aqueducts.
Work published in 2018 as number LXXXII of the Anejos de Archivo Español de Arqueología. Includes bibliographic references (pages 365-427) and a CD-ROM.
Aimed at archaeologists, historians of Antiquity and students of urban archaeology, as well as readers interested in daily life and infrastructures of Roman cities.
