Cozzo Porte Rosse – Glasses
Area of discovery of materials from the Roman-imperial age; rock settlement from the Late Antique and Byzantine periods
Description
On the Cozzo, fragments of earthenware ceramics and glass from the Roman-Imperial age were found on the surface. Fragments of achromatic pottery, decorated with streaks,
demonstrate that the occupation of the site continued until the Byzantine age. In the nearby Occhiali district, a short alluvial plain south of the Cozzo, in an area that Orsi
known as Anticaglia, remains of a late ancient settlement were identified. A small rock settlement has recently been located on the ridge
rocky.
