Tana della Mussina, Prehistoric burial cave in Borzano of Albinea, Italy.
The natural cavity extends within the gypsum rock formations of the lower Apennines in the Reggio Emilia province, featuring multiple internal chambers.
In 1871, archaeologist Gaetano Chierici conducted a stratigraphic excavation inside the cave, discovering skeletal remains of 18 individuals from different ages.
The cave functioned as a burial site during the Copper Age, with evidence of cremation rituals and preservation of bones on a gypsum altar.
The cave remains accessible throughout the year, with guided visits arranged through the speleological group of Reggio Emilia for underground exploration.
The archaeological findings include green stone axes, flint daggers, bone tools, and ceramic objects, now preserved in the Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia.
