Tombola archaeological site

The Tombola archaeological site contains ancient wooden structures built on marshy land near water, supported by a system of vertical piles for stability.

Dating from 5000 to 500 BC, the Tombola settlement represents one of many prehistoric dwellings constructed around Alpine lakes and rivers during the Neolithic period.

The excavated artifacts at Tombola demonstrate the daily practices of early agrarian societies, including their methods of farming, hunting, and crafting tools.

The archaeological zone maintains restricted access and specific visiting hours, requiring advance arrangements through local heritage management authorities for guided tours.

Scientists study the preserved wooden elements at Tombola to understand construction techniques and environmental adaptations of prehistoric Alpine communities.
