The latest years
relevant archeological findings were obtained by the researcher Arnald Puy
Maeso. The traditional irrigated terraces in the huerta of Ricote provided
organic matter with a median probability age of 1100 A.D. (989-1210 A.D.),
according to the corresponding analysis methods. These figures could imply that
the construction of the first terraces at Ricote were formed in a very early
date. However, it is quite well possible that the first Arabic Berber tribes
entered some years before the known date of 711 A.D. or shortly thereafter. The
old village Ricote (today Ulea) was the first settlement of the six villages of
the Ricote Valley. Knowing that today Ricote and the other five villages are important
growers of lemon fruits, this research was effected to find out the places of
the first lemons in Europe and Spain.
