Ledro (TN) | Molina di Ledro
Kurzbeschreibung
aktuell nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar
The pile dwelling of Ledro is located on the eastern shore of Lake Ledro, 650 m above sea level. The site was discovered in 1929 during the hydroelectric works of the Riva del Garda power station. The first surveys were in the same year, but only in 1937 was excavated an area of about 4,500 m2, which brought to light over 12,000 piles driven into the lake shore. Other excavation campaigns took place in the 60s and 80s. Then, since 2000, given the progressive deterioration of the archaeological area mainly due to the frequent variation of the lake level, which considerably accelerates the process of deterioration of the original poles, a monitoring and survey programme was activated. The results of the research, the finds preserved in the nearby museum and also four reconstructed huts, tell the daily life of this pile-dwelling settlement inhabited 4000 years ago by communities of farmers and breeders, bronze craftsmen; a community inserted in a very wide network of exchanges and commercial relations.
