Summary (English)

  • The excavations and research undertaken from 1993 onwards in the territory of the Alto Piano di Asiago are part of the “Progetto Altipiani-Resorse”. At Bostel di Rotzo, a site known for the presence of an Iron Age village, the investigations looked at two adjacent structures with sunken floors and shared perimeter wall but different uses. One structure (C2) had a single occupation phase and was a dwelling. The second structure© was characterised by two phases, the earliest residential, the later productive with the installation of several clay ovens, perhaps for firing ceramic objects. The structures seem to date to a period between the second half of the 2nd century B.C. and the beginning of the 1st century B.C. A series of trenches dug to the west of these structures revealed traces of substantial terracing, which formed the basis for the settlement construction on the Bostel plateau. Another trench, east of the plateau itself revealed the presence of two walls, in two phases, belonging to the double perimeter wall of the village and built using the technique typical of fortified villages.
