The fortified site of Meduno: Discovery, dating and findings. 

Sach di Sotto

Sach di Sotto


The archaeological site of Sach di Sott is located just south of the town of Meduno, on a river terrace at an altitude between 292 and 297 m asl, at the confluence of the Meduna and Rugo streams. This settlement was mainly inhabited between the 4th and 3rd millennium B.C. during the Eneolithic and Bronze Age. It was discovered in 1997 thanks to Franco Del Bianco, who collected some chipped stone artefacts and numerous pottery fragments on the surface of the ploughed fields, which were preliminarily attributed to the early Metal Ages. Among the artefacts found during later archaeological investigations were lithic artefacts, pottery with engraved decorations, structures such as pits and shafts, and a defensive earthwork approximately 115 metres long.
