Summary (English)
The 2006 excavation at the Grotta Continenza examined the lower part of the deposit. Numerous remains of fish and micro-fauna were recovered: the remains of large mammals were found mostly in a vertical position in the spaces between the stones. Two punches, a painted bowl and several flint tools were found in a horizontal position. The find of a columbella rusticoides shell is to be noted. The whole area showed few traces of Mesolithic industry, both of the Castelnovo and Sauveterra types. The human bones come from the burials below that were disturbed by animal burrows. (MiBAC)
