Abstract

This resource is related with the Roman hydraulic system linked to Las Médulas gold mining complex in northwest Iberia. The dataset includes a detailed digital cartography of the hydraulic network, which extends over 1100km. It identifies 41 canals distributed between La Cabrera and El Bierzo regions, (33 and 8, respectively), with 14 canals supplying water to Las Médulas. Additionally, the dataset includes the locations of the Roman mining sites. View on Google Earth (3D) View on Google Maps (2D)
