Finding belonging to the «Moarda» culture from Montevago (Agrigento) -
This work presents the result of surface researches carried out in the
area of Montevago (Agrigento) by «Coop. Nuova Archeologia» in 1988.
All potsherds, flint and bone fragments here presented came from a small
area (few square meters), and it is possible that they represent a
hut-dump. Pottery is characterized by engraved decoration, particularly
reticulum, that allow us to relate it to the «Moarda» culture, a typical
horizon between the end of Copper Age and the beginning of Bronze Age in
Sicily, linked to the Bell Beaker’s culture.
The lithic manufacts include flint and obsidian artifacts, but even more
interesting is the presence of a little object made from (bird?) bone with
a hole, which could be a whistle.
