The investigation develops an interdisciplinary study focused on knowing the usage of the red travertine from Mula during the period of the Roman Cartagena, from its extraction at the quarry face to the final location of the marmoreal pieces or their later application as reused materials. The role that this red travertine marble will accomplish, extracted from the quarry faces of la Almagra and Castillo hilltops (Puebla de Mula), in the monumentalizing process carried out in Carthago Nova will be of vital importance, with emphasized exaltation in the Augustan and Julio-Claudian period, to whose historical context most of the documented pieces belong.

diaries of one of the most relevant Spanish history archaeologists as well as one of the most important Iberian archaeological sites of the entire peninsula. This aims to refi ll some of the gaps that were created –around the Iberian sanctuary that most ex-votos has recovered until now- when Collado de los Jardines was excavated at the beginning of the Twentieth century. Both the transcription and digitalisation of mentioned diaries have been made in order to bring their content to the rest of the scientifi c community, more than a hundred years after their creation. At the same time, the motive of this essay relies on being a system of preventive conservation and the protection of the information gathered by Juan Cabré throughout his investigation years. Another motive is to perpetuate the concerns of the archaeologist about this Iberian topic.
