Summary (English)

  • The settlement dates to the beginning of the third style of the “Square Mouthed Vase” culture. It is situated at 18m a.s.l. at the start of the western Lower Tilaventina Plain.

    The area under investigation is south of the town of Fiume Veneto, at the centre of a narrow strip of land between the river Sile to the south-east and river Fiume to the north-west, both tributaries of the river Livenza. Seventeen well-shaped structures used as middens in the Neolithic village were examined together with a vast area known as the north-western structure, characterized by a flat expanse of anthropologic sediment.

    In 2002 the north-west structure was excavated, this seemed to document, for the first time in the area a vertical overlaying of several occupation phases, which until that point had only been suggested by the spatial distribution of the radiocarbon dates (falling between 4900-4600 and 4240-3969 B.C. CAL 1ơ) and by research on the provenance of the flaked siliceous rocks.

    Work in 2003 led to the identification and excavation of two new structures and of a polylobate structure filled only with Neolithic material. (MiBAC)
