The excavations of the paleolithic layer in the locality of Fontana Ranuccio aimed to determine the extension of the fossiliferous level. It was very slightly sloped in a north/west-south/east direction which indicates the probable existence of a drainage system, set up in a similar way to the existing one. The highest concentration of finds was in the northern part of the area. These included bones, teeth, macro-remains of fossilised wood, deer antlers, implements attached to bone and fragments of worked flint. Of particular interest for their very good state of preservation and completeness are the _Elephas_ half mandible and adjacent deer antler, the _Elephas_ molar and several bone implements chipped on the distal part, the ribs of a pachyderm and the distal extremity of a bifacial implement of dark flint.
