Summary (English)

  • In via Mallardera, in trenches 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 22, traces came to light of occupation dating to the early Bronze Age (1700 B.C.)

    The few finds of Iron Age and archaic date were mainly residual with the exception of site 4 (trench 11 in via Vernelle) where the remains of a burial were found. This comprised an earth grave surrounded by a circle of stones inside which was a sort of low tumulus which had been disturbed in antiquity. On the basis of its typology it probably dates to the archaic period. In this regard the lack of evidence of classical date (5th and 4th century B.C.) is notable: the earliest burial in via Mallardera (tomb 23, trench 20) dates to the end of the 4th century and is the beginning of a series of finds of cemetery and settlement areas dating to the 3rd to 2nd century B.C.

    Trench 35 revealed a cemetery of Imperial date, with eight burials in graves lined with tiles. Four were infant burials whose simple tomb groups were distinguished by the coins present, of which those of the Neronian period were particularly fine, and by the presence of wooden caskets with metal finishings (tomb 8).
