Abstract
The searches conducted in the Monte’s castle of Montella (Avellino) between 1980 and 2008 have underlined a multilayered complex with phases of employment from the VI to the XX century. Against a large quantity of ceramic finds of high and late medieval age, the excavation conducted in rasola 1 returned a small, but significant number of artifacts that help to expand the product framework of material culture: it's earthenware, worked stone objects, marble, glass and metal, used among other things for clothing, furniture, military life and commerce. The analysis of these findings helps to shed light on some aspects of daily life or the status of the inhabitants of the site, archaeological evidences is often difficult to record.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
