Spanish term

en alzado

Spanish to English Social Sciences Archaeology
From a heritage impact study that is part of an environmental impact study (Spain). They are talking about what can happen if earthmoving takes place without first identifying possible archaeological remains and corrective measures:

"...el desmantelamiento de elementos patrimoniales *en alzado* sin un previo conocimiento de los mismos..."

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Note from asker:
Your answer makes a lot of sense. As a matter of fact, there are photos of corbelled dwellings in the report, so maybe they are referring to finding remains of more of them.
Something went wrong...
