Summary (English)

  • In this 15th excavation campaign work focused on the southern terrace of the settlement, specifically an area measuring 42 m2. The existence of a street leading to the summit was documented, corresponding to the 3rd phase: 3 walls were identified; two of them running parallel N-S and the other in an E-W direction. This entire area showed a sedimentary filling with large stone blocks that has been interpreted as the final collapse that marked its abandonment. It is important to note the scarcity of pottery remains, all highly fragmented and rounded shards, as well as evidence of fauna and small pieces of charcoal.

    Associated with the W side of wall UE 2292, another context was identified whose superficial layer of varying thickness contained calcareous blocks that had fallen from higher areas, small charcoal fragments, fauna, and small sherds. This archaeological level covered a peculiar multi-stage floor made of blocks approximately 1m wide; these steps would have made it possible to climb? the slope. On the intermediate step, a 40 cm diameter x 20 cm deep basin was discovered, interpreted to be aninsertion base for an esparto sac or a pottery container.
