As part of a broader program of integrated enhancement of inland areas, the stratified excavation in the archaeological area of Cuccuru Cresi Arta was carried out in 2004.<\/p>\n\n
Faint traces of wall remains from the historic period have been found on the hilltop.<\/p>\n\n
A quadrangular structure, built of medium-sized stones, has emerged, set on the rocky bank below. It is possible that it is to be referred to a cult building (given the toponym and the presence of a cross), but certainly, given the strategic location, the structure dominated the fertile surrounding land and thus also performed a function of control over the territory. <\/p>\n\n
The most significant feature of the excavation is the discovery of a Nuragic structure, elliptical in plan, set at the edge of the ridge on the southwest side.<\/p>\n\n
The structure was dug more than two meters into the rock plateau and lined, as far as it was exposed, with twelve rows of stones.<\/p>\n\n
The various fill layers have returned exclusively Nuragic pottery and tools, the oldest of which are attributed to Middle Bronze.<\/p>\n\n
The most plausible hypothesis is that it is the combustion chamber of a kiln, used for firing pots.<\/p>\n\n
Bone samples, taken from US 36, which was among the deepest layers, were dated at C14 between 1520 and 1300 B.C. date calibrated at 68% probability (at 95.4% probability there is a range between 1620 and 1130 B.C.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"COMUNE":[],"note":[],"indirizzo":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"coordinates":[],"images":[],"adesioni":[],"footnotes":""},"monumento_tipologia":[681,718],"accessibilita":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"class_list":["post-100911","monumento","type-monumento","status-publish","hentry","monumento_tipologia-bene-archeologico-en","monumento_tipologia-nuragic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/100911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/monumento"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/100911\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":105132,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/100911\/revisions\/105132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"monumento_tipologia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumento_tipologia?post=100911"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita?post=100911"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita_mezzi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita_mezzi?post=100911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
