The research group "Antiqua. Ancient History and Archaeology" of the Universitat Jaume I, under the coordination of lecturer Juan José Ferrer, has carried out two projects within the framework of the Plan of Archaeological Actions of the University, funded through a collaboration agreement with the Valencian Government.

The work plan of these archaeological actions, in which UJI students have also participated, has focused, on the one hand, on excavating the Roman villa of Sant Gregori, in the town of Burriana. Sant Gregori is a settlement that is located by the sea for economic reasons rather than for residential factors. In addition, it is the last excavated coastal site located south of the Mijares River, traditionally interpreted as the northern limit of the Saguntine territorium, so it is a site of some relevance.

The village of Sant Gregori is illustrative of a model of a maritime *uilla* during the High Roman Empire. The scarcity of sites of these characteristics in other areas of the *territorium saguntinum* demonstrates the need to continue research through the archaeological excavation of this enclave.

The second project consisted of applying digital methodologies, i.e. topography and photogrammetry works, 3D scanning, etc., in the study of the rural landscape of the Roman and Ibero-Roman period in the municipalities of Borriol, La Pobla Tornesa, Cabanes and Vilafamés.

The route of the Via Augusta has been the backbone from which the different actions have been carried out. At a general level, the project has had a series of objectives that can be summarised in the cataloguing of the archaeological heritage related to the Ibero-Roman and Roman settlements of these municipalities; the study and classification of the topography and the architectural complexes; the compilation of the existing bibliography on the sites and, finally, the study of the materials deposited in the museums that may have been relevant to the project.

In general terms, this project has sought to develop a useful tool for organizing, analyzing and storing data from archaeological sites, with the aim of facilitating future interventions to enhance their value.
