Kurzbeschreibung
aktuell nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar
Lucone is one of the largest morainic basins around Garda. It is a wide basin with a marsh in its center, where 5 different prehistoric settlements have been identified. The excavation of Lucone D has been in progress since 2007. This settlement had a relatively short lifespan: it appears to have been founded in 2034 BC and was abandoned a few years later, in 1967 BC, according to the dendrochronological dating. Between these two dates, the site saw numerous construction phases and a terrible fire, which caused the majority of the buildings to collapse.Thanks to their falling into the water, they were preserved. Between the piles layers of deposits of rich archaeological finds and organic materials were excavated.
