Summary (English)

  • Several trenches were dug inside a 14th century building on the Lerro property, on the acropolis of ancient Teanum Sidicium. The excavations uncovered a number of burials, small channels and medieval wells, overlain by Roman and Hellenistic structures whose function could not be determined due to the bad state of preservation.

    A large amount of interesting material was found in the medieval levels which were rich in banded and “sovradipinta” pottery, coarse clay containers, glazed pottery and archaic majolica (a particularly fine piece was a jug spout shaped like an elephant head). These were associated with fragments of late antique amphora and coarse ware containers, ARS and Italian sigillata, amphora fragments and a few fragments of Hellenistic black glaze ware that was clearly in secondary deposition.
