Kurzbeschreibung
aktuell nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar
The settlement of Bande di Cavriana, reported for the first time in 1878, was inhabited from the Early to the Late Bronze Age. Thanks to the waterlogged environment many of the wooden structures of the pile dwelling have been preserved quite well. The rich collection of pottery and tools, the presence of Nordic amber and faience, but above all the Brotlaibidole (‘enigmatic tablets’) confirm that interactions with othercultural areas of Central Europe took place. In 1970 a particularly interesting deposit of grape pips was found (at present an attempt is being made to identify the genome).Their concentration and the quantity suggest that they were used to make a fermented drink.
