Archaeological evidence was revealed below the layer of erupted material attributable to the Vesuvian eruption known as the “pomici di Avellino” during the construction of an E.N.E.L. electricity cabin in the locality of Cambrannone, in the municipality of Gricignano d’Aversa.

The evidence consisted of numerous post holes and pits in the early Bronze Age ground surface belonging to a dwelling (in synchrony with Nola).
The eastern part of the area investigated was occupied by a hut (4.5 × 12 m) on a north-west/south-east alignment, with an apse on the north-western side. The interpretation of the structure on the south-eastern side is more problematic. Here, a channel, perhaps built in the Roman period, cuts the alignment of the perimeter posts. Two hearths were found on the west and south-east side of the hut, within sub-circular pits. The cooking surfaces in the pit floors were made of large fragments of impasto pottery.
