Showcase EX 7This showcase displays Nuragic age finds from the area surrounding the nuraghe, discovered during excavations carried out in 1965-1966. The plan highlights the excavation sectors from which the finds come, which can be chronologically placed between the terminal phases of the Middle Bronze Age and the Final Bronze Age (15th-11th century BC). In particular, the finds in the showcase come from huts 6, 7, 8, 9, and from sectors XVIII, XXVI and R. On the left of the showcase are ceramic fragments of large containers, such as the neck vase, the olla and the basin.In the central part in the foreground is a ceramic fragment restored in ancient times with a lead grappa (no. 4). The Nuragic people used to restore particularly elaborate vases such as the askoid jugs and large ones such as the dolia.Still in the center (nos. 24, 25) are two fragments pertaining to a horseshoe-shaped stove. The stove was equipped with supports to hold the vessel, burning embers were placed inside the stove.In the huts, millstones and pestles for grinding grain are usually found (nos. 18-22). The tools in worked bone were in common use, such as awls and needles (nos. 10-15), or for the handle of another tool (no. 16). In the daily life of the village, there was no shortage of container lids, like this example with a central hole (no. 8), and whetstones that were used to sharpen the tools (nos. 26-27).The presence of the model of a limestone nuraghe (no. 9), found in an area of ​​the village, perhaps in a "meeting" hut where rites connected to the civil and religious sphere were performed, is important. The models of nuraghe are the symbol par excellence of the Nuragic civilisation of the final Bronze Age-I phase of the Iron Age (11th-10th century BC) and are found inside the "meeting" huts and in the cult complexes.

Showcase 12

Showcase Ex 8- This showcase displays Nuragic age finds from the area surrounding the nuraghe, discovered during excavations carried out in 1965-1966. The plan highlights the excavation sectors from which the finds come, which can be chronologically placed between the terminal phases of the Middle Bronze Age and the Final Bronze Age (15th-11th century BC). In particular, the finds in the showcase come mainly from hut 1 and hut 2 and from sectors A and BC. In-depth analysisThe metal specimens are copies of three copper panels, of an axe of the raised-edge type and of an axe of the bronze eye type, which were part of a group of bronzes, called "ripostiglio", found inside hut 2.It is worth noting the fragments pertaining to baking pans and saucepans, which present the so-called "comb" decoration, consisting of impressions of small quadrangular holes very close to each other that refer to a tool such as a comb (nos. 1, 3, see also the fragment of showcase 5, no. 5). This decoration can be dated to the Recent Bronze Age (13th century BC). A fragment of a baking pan or saucepan presents on the bottom impressions of a mat or a basket (no. 2).Another type of decoration, called "a stralucido", can be dated back to the Late Bronze Age, as in the case of the internal base of a bowl (nos. 12-13). To obtain this decoration, the vase does not receive the final treatment over its entire surface, that is, polishing with a pebble, but some points are spared, thus creating opaque areas alternating with shiny ones.
