Abstract: Le Grotte di Pertosa si aprono nella valle del fiume Tanagro (Campania meridionale) e costituiscono una delle principali risorgenti carsiche dei monti Alburni. Il sistema sotterraneo, lungo 3 km, è attraversato da un copioso torrente con portata idrica variabile tra 350 e 600 l/s. Nell’ampia antegrotta furono condotti scavi già alla fine dell’Ottocento ad opera di G. Patroni e P. Carucci: le loro indagini accertarono l’interesse archeologico del sito e portarono al riconoscimento di varie fasi di frequentazione umana, dalla preistoria al medioevo. La costruzione di una diga e di una banchina presso l’ingresso, utili rispettivamente allo sfruttamento idroelettrico delle acque interne e all’avvio del processo di turisticizzazione della cavità, sommergendo e inglobando il giacimento impedì in seguito ogni ulteriore ricerca fino al 2004, allorché nuove indagini sono state intraprese con approccio multidisciplinare e moderno. Tra le varie classi di manufatti recuperati con le ricerche compaiono molte armi metalliche, inquadrabili cronologicamente tra l’età del Bronzo e l’epoca ellenistico-romana. La loro presenza rivela la consuetudine – durata diversi secoli – di un abbandono e forse addirittura di un lancio direttamente nelle acque circolanti nella cavità. Pugnali, coltelli, teste di ascia, punte di freccia e di lancia, elmi sono stati lasciati nell’antegrotta per motivazioni che non possono esulare dalla sfera del sacro. The Grotte di Pertosa are located in the Tanagro Valley (Southern Campanian region) and represent one of the main karst springs of the Alburni Mountains. The underground system is 3 km long and it hosts a subterranean river with an average volume flow rate of 350-600 l/s. Excavations in the vast entrance chamber had already been carried out in late 19th century by G. Patroni and P. Carucci. Their investigations proved the presence of an archaeological deposit and led to the identification of different phases of human frequentation, from prehistory to the medieval era. The construction of both a dyke and a platform in the entrance, respectively for the purpose of hydroelectric exploitation of the underground water and the beginning of a process of opening up the cave to tourism, submerged and covered the archaeological deposit. This then prevented the possibility of carrying out any additional research until 2004, when new investigations were undertook with a multidisciplinary and modern approach. Within the various classes of artefacts recovered through the researches in the cave, many metal weapons are listed, chronologically referring to an era which spread from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic-Roman period. Their presence reveals the habits – which lasted for many centuries – of frequently abandoning weapons and perhaps throwing them directly in the water circulating in the cave. Daggers, knives, axes, arrow points, spearheads, helmets were all left in the entrance chamber for reasons which cannot lie outside of the sacred sphere.

Tunis 2019, pp. 1347-1364.Preziose informazioni sulla necropoli di Tuvixeddu, a Cagliari, sono fornite dalle annotazioni relative agli scavi condotti alcuni decenni fa e in gran parte rimasti inediti. In questo caso si tratta di una sepoltura a pozzo che ha restituito un gran numero di reperti.
Notiziario Archeologico Soprintendenza Palermo
S. Vassallo, V. Groppo, Le tombe e i morsi ad anello dei cavalli morti nella battaglia di Himera del 480 a.C., Notiziario Archeologico Soprintendenza Palermo, n. 53/2020The tombs of horses brought to light in the western necropolis of Himera are an extraordinary example of an archaeological complex of burials of horses which, for various reasons related to research on the ground and to precise historical references that recall the presence of cavalry by the two belligerent armies-on the one hand the Carthaginian and on the other the Greek-can be linked to a single episode of war, the Battle of Himera in 480 BC. In this article a preliminary presentation is made of the tombs, their general classification in the topography of the necropolis and the excavation data that allowed a chronological classification of the battle of 480 BC. Of great interest is the discovery of two ring-shaped bronze horse bites which, in addition to being the oldest so far found in precise archaeological contexts, offer significant research ideas on the diffusion and circulation of this peculiar type of bite, which at the moment seems foreign to the Greek world of the late Archaic/Classical age.
