Domus de Janas Cuguttu

The archaeological site of Cuguttu is located in the Pietraia neighborhood in the northern part of Alghero, also known as Taulera. The area has carbonate rocks dating back to the Middle Jurassic with calcite crystallization and various layers of hard-compact and friable workable rock. Botanically, there are plants of fig, asphodel, ilatro, rib on limestone rock and brambles. Since the early twentieth century, several archaeological artifacts belonging to the Bonnanaro, Campaniforme and Ozieri cultures were found in the Domus de Janas of Cuguttu, which are now preserved at the MAN in Cagliari (National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari) and MŪSA (Archaeological Museum of Alghero) including a vase with comb decorations and a drilled skull.
