Summary (English)

  • An area of circa 2,500 m2 was investigated in a hilly area behind the modern town of Calvi Risorta, on the western side of the Calvi Risorta-Rocchetta ring-road. This revealed evidence of the site’s occupation relating to agricultural and craft-working activities, dating from the Hellenistic period through to the late medieval and modern periods. The evidence uncovered consisted of a stretch of irrigation canal dated by the black glaze pottery to the 3rd-2nd century B.C.; a kiln for tiles, pottery and amphora built in the early Imperial period but perhaps in use until the early medieval era and a well with an L-shaped cuniculus. This was cut into the tufa and lined with opus signinum and was circa 25 m long. These structures were part of a water supply system for irrigation. Between the late medieval and modern periods the area was obliterated by a road which probably supplied a kiln installation of which only the name is preserved in a toponym in local dialect.
