The site of L’Almadrava, located in the municipality of Els Poblets, presents the typology of a coastal villa: a rustic establishment with activity between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. The excavated area of the site corresponds to part of a Roman country house, specifically a pottery workshop.

Although a portion of a building with the characteristics of a wealthy household has been discovered, the majority of the visible structures belong to the pottery workshop. They permit the appreciation of not only the work areas and housing for the workers —usually slaves— but also of large porches for drying the pieces, wells for extracting the water needed, and kilns for firing.

This pottery workshop was dedicated to the production of tiles and amphorae. The amphorae contained wine, oil or salted products, which, along with cereals, accounted for 90% of the traded goods. They were containers designed for maritime transport and were single-use, discarded once emptied upon arrival at the port of destination.
