Summary (English)

  • The small church of S. Martino, built with the entrance to the west and the apse to the east, was demolished in about 1813 and robbed of its building material to the point that only part of the foundation walls were found, standing to a maximum height of three courses. Along its long south side an inhumation in an earth grave was excavated. This contained a male individual aged 25-35 years, buried with his feet and hands tied (year 2001). On the northern side a cemetery area was identified which up until 2005 had produced seven burials. The 2006 excavation uncovered another five inhumations, all of which dug into the layer of alluvial gravel. Tomb 11 is of particular interest: in an earth grave the individual’s cranium was placed between two large stones by which it was supported, by the side of one of the stones was a basin containing burnt material, an iron knife was found at the level of the thorasic verterbrae. As regards other burials, the individual in Tomb 10, an earth grave, had a circular iron fibula on the coccygeal vertebra; Tomb 14, outlined by small cobbles contained an infant; Tomb 13 was a burial in a wooden coffin; lastly Tomb 12 did not present any peculiarities worthy of mention.
