Abstract

The article features the research led by the University of Cagliari within the territory of Gallura (north-eastern Sardinia) and particularly within the site of Santu Stefanu, in the countryside of Luogosanto: a restoration plan of the remains of a building known as ‘Palazzo di Baldu’ turned into a project that combines academic archaeological education and research with a pathway to reclaim the cultural heritage of the local community. The archaeological search, recommenced in 2013 after being undertaken between 1999 and 2002, has brought to light a building complex made of 16 sections outlining a large courtyard, which contains the construction knows as ‘Lu Palazzu’. The assessment of the movable finds allows to make some considerations on the political and commercial interactions of the inhabitants of the building complex, at least within the timeframe between the 13th and 15th centuries: This is particularly valuable on account of the lack of documents related to the site and its territory.
