3.2.3.9 UT 11 and 54—C.da San Giovanni—Potsherds Scatter Area

F 260 IV NO, Coord. UTM 414000 4199139, 600 m a.s.l.

The area is located southwest of Isnello municipality. It consists of small hills and gently sloped terrains. In one of the flatter portions of the area, sheltered to the north by Mt. Balatelli and towards the valley of the Isnello River, a great amount of fragments of tiles and plain ceramic is scattered. The tiles (Fig. 3.15), showing a characteristic treatment of the upper surface with a comb decoration (“tegole striate”) are evidence of an Early Medieval settlement, since also at Vallone Inferno are dated between the 7th and 9th century AD (Forgia et al. 2013). Not far from C.da San Giovanni, on the top of the hill, another area (UT 54) with small potsherds has been mapped.
