Archaeology and abandonment of domestic structures in the Early Bronze Age

Abstract

The expansion of the railway line from Caserta to Foggia, in the section between Borgo Cervaro and Bovino in the province of Foggia, has led to the opportunity to carry out archaeological investigations along an extended part of the track. Many previously unknown sites have been identified along this new line. Among these, one, dating between the end of the Early and the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age, was selected for excavation in the locality of Posta Rivolta in the comune of Foggia. The excavation has resulted in the discovery of a large village consisting of at least four large huts.
