Summary (English)

  • In the most southerly part of the territory of Afragola, not far from the bed where the river Sebeto once ran, the excavation in lot 11 led to the identification of two roads. The first was separated from the overlying deposit of the “Pomici di Avellino” eruption by a thin abandonment layer. On a north-west/south-east alignment it presented a series of more or less regular cart tracks. The second road, at right angles to the first, was slightly earlier. Two narrow parallel strips were preserved, circa 0.30 m wide, with a gap of just over one metre between them. A generic dating is suggested of between the Final Eneolithic and the early Bronze Age.

    Another trench in the same lot produced a ditch with a parallel beaten surface; the fill of the ditch contained a large number of pottery fragments datable to the 3rd and 2nd century B.C.
