Archaeological site in Pietrerosse
Name
Area of discovery of materials from the Eneolithic age; area of dispersion of late Roman ceramics; late ancient necropolis.
Description
North of the road leading to Brucoli, inside a military area, fragments of lithic tools attributed to the Eneolithic age were found on the surface.
Two rectangular pit tombs dug into the limestone, violated and filled with earth and stones were identified near the road. Fragments of clear terra sealata were collected nearby, leading to the hypothesis of the existence of a farm relating to the small nearby necropolis.
