Catalan term or phrase: recinte foral
This is talking about a specific area in Tarragona, although not a proper noun. Right now we have "chartered area". Anyone have a better, more precise idea? Or possibly an explnation of what this is?
TIA!

Explanation:
The words "amphora" and "necropolis" make me think that your text is talking about Roman Tarragona.

"Recinte foral" means the same as "recinte del fòrum", i.e., "forum area" (in reference to the forum of ancient Roman cities).

neutral  Alistair Ian Spearing Ortiz: Not necessarily. The Oxford Dictionary defines "area" as "A space allocated for a specific use" (no mention of open air), and it gives as an example "dining area" (which is usually indoors).
