An extensive area of circa 12,000 m2 was investigated during the construction of a new residential complex. The zone is situated between the Revigliasco road, the San Michele road, the Della Rovere road and the grounds of the Villa Lancio. In antiquity, the area was characterised by the presence of a natural channel, on a north-east/south-west alignment, whose banks had probably already been partially regulated in the Roman period. The channel had gradually filled with alluvial deposits according to dynamics that are only partially reconstructable. During the late Roman period, the watercourse was already partially buried and along its banks a system of tanks, wells and channels was installed for the collection and regimentation of water from the water table. This water continued to be exploited during the early medieval period, as attested by the construction of two wells with cobble-built structures. Three sunken-floored buildings also date to this period. They were quadrangular in plan and had walls made of perishable materials. Two were side by side, their floors about 70 cm lower than the external ground surface, the third, situated at a distance of 9 m, had a floor about 40-50 cm below the ground level. The investigations showed that these structures were only used for a short period, perhaps for craft working activities. The area around the huts was occupied by a group of burials in simple earth graves, without grave-goods. Several more burials were identified to the north-east. The earliest was cut by the deposition of a young male who had been buried clothed, and with a tomb group comprising swords/daggers, two rings and elements of worked bone in the Lombard tradition, datable to within the first half of the 7th century. A horse burial was uncovered a few metres away, of which only the cranium was preserved, perhaps to be associated with the burial of the young man. The investigation also collected new data regarding the Lombard presence in the hills between Moncalieri and Testona, already known from past finds.
