Abstract

The archaeological site of Peña de las Cucharas is one of the most significant archaeological settlements of Lanzarote. Recently, cultural promotion activities and dissemination sessions have been carried out along with the archaeological interventions. Examples of these are school visits to the site in addition to excavation or prospecting workshops, which have brought the student body closer to the archaeology reality of the island. The results obtained from these activities stress once again the importance that education has in the conservation of the historical-archaeological heritage and the interest that this generates in the student body and the faculty. But also emphasize the need to develop joint strategies to bring the citizens closer to their heritage and to the knowledge we have today about the pre-European times of the Canary Islands.
