With 49 years, he had his chance with the start of excavations of Numantia in 1906, accounting for institutional field work not only to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, to which he belonged since 1899, but also the Royal Academy of History, where he was a elected member only 5 months before, performing a wide public diffusion in the press of the excavations results that gave him great notoriety. This work allowed him access in 1912 to the Chair of Archaeology at the Central University of Madrid, by extraordinary promotion, without competitive examination, or Ph thesis dissertation, and with 55 years in 1913 as Antiquarian of the Royal Academy of History, and in 1916 to the Directorate of National Archaeological Museum, acquiring an institutional weight which had not previously while he was director of the Museum of Artistic Reproductions between 1901- 1916. Despite accumulating the three most important academic positions in Archaeology in Spain between 1916 and 1930, he not travel abroad or projected his research until 1928-29, although that period was the best years of his scientific production. Mélida took more direct control of the excavations in Numantia (1906-1923), which were made during his summer holidays in Soria between July and early September, while held remote control of the excavations in Merida (1910-1933), briefly visiting 2 or 3 times a year and which Maximilian Macias directed fieldwork.
