In year 2015, research took place in Broglio from September 8th to October 3rd; only laboratory activities were carried out, aimed at an exhaustive study of the “central hut” deposits, excavated during the 2013 and 2014 campaigns (trench D of the former excavations, now trench 13).

The structure, already investigated by Renato Peroni and collaborators between 1980 and 1982, still represents the context of the Recent Bronze Age (ca. 1.300-15050 BC) which gave the most abundant evidence of the Aegean and Aegean-derivative pottery, produced on the spot.

The detailed and quantitative study of the finds, in particular of the fragments used for the realization of the sequence of the two hearths of the “potsherd pavement” type, appears to demonstrate the growing influence of the Aegean world during the Recent Bronze Age, not only on the basis of the pottery found, but also through the varying ways in which hearths were made.

On September 18th, 2015, the Broglio di Trebisacce Archaeological Park was also inaugurated, whise completion was obtained thanks to the Arcus spa 2010 fundings. The park consists of an indoor introduction through four rooms (where one can find a video, an educational videogame of simulated excavation, full-size replicas of pottery and bronze artifacts, photo and graphic panels) and an outdoor path, marked by the real-size reconstruction of a hut (whose design is based upon the “central hut” of trench D, the subject of excavations 1980- 82 and 2013-14) and a series of horizontal panels that reproduce the traces of the most important underlying archaeological structures, protecting them at the same time; vertical or oblique didactic panels complete the explanations.

The Municipality has started to manage the site through the non-profit Associazione per la Storia e l’Archeologia della Sibaritide, a long-standing partner of the excavations.
The journey of the archaeological site from research to valorisation has finally reached a significant result in the transmission to the public.
