• AIAC_2626 - Colle Rotondo - 2012
  The 2012 campaign allowed us to work in three different and interesting areas: -a wide archaeosurface dated to the Early Upper Palaeolithic (35000-30000 BC) consisting of hundreds of flakes and few tools, the trace of a knapping activities of hunters’s groups. -the prosecution of the 2010 and 2011 excavations in the area of Archaic external agger allowed us to better understand the structure of the preceeding Final Bronze Age-Early Iron Age fortification, made of earth, wooden piles and burnt clay. Under this fortification it was possible to find a settlement level of Middle Bronze Age 2 (1650-1550 B.C.) with some fragmented but quite entire cups and a big quantity of acorns. The 2013 campaign will be surely dedicated to a better understanding of this level. -the prosecution of the 2010 and 2011 excavations in the internal agger area allowed us to better understand the hollow under the archaic wall remains, probably pertaining to a votive deposition, with ceramics of a preceeding Early Iron Age occupation phase.
