Summary (English)

  • Archaeological investigations undertaken on the Tenuta Boccone d’Aste revealed an underground cavity cut into the tufa. This chamber has a central pilaster-partition and is entered via a dromos with six steps. It has a rectangular plan with no niches or secondary chambers. The internal surface is covered by tool marks. The fill of the dromos and the chamber’s entrance produced large quantities of pottery sherds: black glaze from the atéliers des petites estampilles, small plates in Genucilia ware, poculae, basins with lug-handles attatched at the base, a thymeiateria etc. A large two-handled vessel was found in the left-hand sector of the chamber. The structure will be conserved within one of the buildings which are currently under construction.
