In September and October 2006 Domenico Marino directed the second campaign of archaeological investigations in the area of Lake Cecita, in the Sila. The investigations looked at the terraces on the south bank of the lake by means of surface survey. The numerous sites that were identified, positioned using GPS and surveyed with a total station, span a period that runs from the Paleolithic to the late Imperial era. Extensive stratigraphic investigations were undertaken in the large settlement of Piano di Cecita, datable to between the end of the Neolithic and the beginning of the Eneolithic Age (3,800-3,300 B.C.). The archaeological area, situated on the summit of a river terrace by the river Mucone, whose ancient course has been submerged by the lake, is situated at a few kilometres from Camigliatello, near Spezzano della Sila (CS), between 1130 and 1140 m a.s.l. It stands along one of the main routes between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas and was certainly linked to the obsidian trade. The remains of two huts with apsidal plan were uncovered and numerous intact vessels were recovered (cups, dishes, bowls, jars). The prehistoric community that was settled in the Cecita area practiced agriculture, as attested by the exceptional patches of fields with traces of reticulate ploughing, and fishing attested by numerous weights for fishing nets of the type belonging to the northern Chassey-Lagozza culture. The prehistoric settlement of Piana di Cecita and the many other contemporary settlements found in the Sila area can be attributed to a new facies, defined “del Mucone”, which had cultural links with the Diana and Piano Conte facies.
