Resumen
Descripción
El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro de la Arqueología Urbana y se halla localizado en el Área de
Protección Cautelar del Barrio Histórico de Colonia de Sacramento-Uruguay. La intervención se
produjo por medio de un seguimiento de obra en la manzana 18, padrón nº 442 con frente a la plaza
principal de dicha ciudad. Se realizaron en el sitio sondeos arqueológicos exploratorios durante la
obra, produciéndose el hallazgo de una construcción para reservorio y abastecimiento de agua, denominado comúnmente como Aljibe. Los Aljibes son sistemas complejos de aprovechamiento del agua
de pluviales, que marcan una importancia sustancial en la utilización del recurso. Las construcciones
de este tipo dejan entrever el nivel económico, social, simbólico de quienes los construían. En este
caso se trata de una estructura abovedada de fines del siglo XIX; que posee importantes dimensiones;
compuesto de un brocal, una cisterna y conductos para la entrada y extracción de agua. Esta estructura
posee un alto valor testimonial y ha permitido una mejor comprensión de la historia y el desarrollo
de la “Nueva Ciudad” de Colonia. El trabajo en conjunto de todos los actores ha permitido poner en
valor dicha estructura, la cual se halla actualmente expuesta al público.
This work deals with Urban Archaeology and it is performed in the Preventive Protection Area of the historic quarter of Colonia del Sacramento- Uruguay. The intervention consisted of a monitoring of the work in block 18, land register number 442 in front of the main square of said city. Archaeological exploratory surveys were carried out in the place during the work, where a construction for reservoir and water supply, commonly known as well, was found. Wells are complex systems for rainwater use and are highly important regarding the exploitation of this resource. This kind of constructions suggests the economic, social and symbolic level of the people who constructed them. In this case, it is a vaulted structure from the late nineteenth century, which has important dimensions. It is composed of a curbstone, a tank and pipes for water ingress and extraction. This structure has high historical value and has enabled a better understanding of the history and development of the “New City” of Colonia. The work performed by all the actors together has made it possible to value such structure, which is currently exposed to the public.
