Il villaggio protostorico di Brunku s’Omu – Villa Verde (Sardegna Centro Occidentale-Italia): lo scavo della capanna 16. Notizia preliminare

Abstract

This paper is a report of the last excavation campaign of the nuragic settlement of Brunku S’Omu, located in the territory of Villa Verde in central western Sardinia. The site, formed of a nuraghe and a large village of dry-stone huts, has been investigated several times during the period 1982 – 2004. In 2013, a new excavation campaign was carried out inside of the circular dry-stone structure named hut 16. The first results seem to suggest that such structure was used for both food preparation and metal-working activities. Pottery chrono-typological analysis dates the use of the structure to the Final Bronze Age, in accordance with the general dating of the settlement.
