During the 2005 and 2006 excavations, an important stratigraphical sequence was explored in the area near the inside front of the protohistoric fortification walls (SAS IX).

Abstract
During the 2005 and 2006 excavations, an important stratigraphical sequence was explored in the area near the inside front of the protohistoric fortification walls (SAS IX). The ruins of three monumental huts with a rectangular plan superposed and occupied between the Recent Bronze Age 1-2 and the Final Bronze Age 2 were brought to light. A huge quantity of Aegean imports together with local hand-made pottery was found. The presence of many faunal remains in all the occupation layers lead us to think of celebrations of sacrifices and ritual meals.File in questo prodotto:
