The plants that live in the sand on the beach and in the dunes must survive in a difficult ecological context, high temperature ranges, inconsistency of the substrate, scarce water availability.

And what happened to waste in the past? Did the man pay attention to the environment or maybe it wasn’t a problem? But what information can the waste of the past give us today? We discover these and many other things thanks to the simulation of an archaeological excavation, which we will carry out directly on the beach using the real tools and techniques of archeology.
