Summary (English)

  • Investigations continued in lot 1. On the ancient ground surface which had formed over the ashes from the Agnano 3 eruption (46000 b.p.) a structure with a sub-rectangular plan appeared. It had an apse in one of its short sides and was on an east/north-east/west/south-west alignment. Outside the south side a burial in an earth grave, containing an adult individual in fetal position, was uncovered. The material found dated these remains to an early phase of the Neolithic period (trench 3112).

    A settlement area was also identified. This was characterised by the presence of numerous kilns associated with firing floors attributable to a production area that was partly enclosed. The excavation recovered a large amount of pottery of the Palma Campania facies and a bronze dagger (trench 1011).
