Area archeologica di Rio Tavana

The archaeological excavation area extends along the banks of the Tavana river, revealing structures and artifacts from prehistoric settlements at 735 meters above sea level.

The site dates back to 6900 BP and contains evidence of early agricultural communities that transitioned from nomadic groups arriving from Puglia to settled farmers.

The archaeological area includes remnants of wooden pole huts with clay walls, agricultural tools, bone needles, and stone implements used by early inhabitants.

The excavation site serves as an educational facility where students work with archaeologists to learn field survey techniques and artifact documentation methods.

A semicircular anthropic deposit contains rare bone tools and agricultural implements that demonstrate the evolution of farming practices in central Italy.
