Kamal Madad, head of the scientific excavation project held at Qasr Baghay, said in media statements that the artifacts found dated back to the Byzantine (7th to 8th century AD) and Islamic eras during the 15th century AD. He pointed out that the explorations that indicated the Islamic period came through the discovery of skeletons and remains of people who were buried in the Islamic manner, facing the Qiblah. The work is still ongoing at Qasr Baghay, given that the project extends for years, during which excavation work is active in the fall due to the improvement in climatic conditions for the research team so that they can give a correct reading of the history of the region in particular and the history of Algeria in general, He explained.
