Abstract
The area under study includes a well-circumscribed geographical region, consisting of the middle valley of the Rio Mogoro. Territorial analyses show that during the proto-historic age, between the Middle Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age, there was, on the basaltic plateaus, a system of territorial control, effected thanks to the construction of imposing Nuragic towers located in strategic position, to defend the economic wealth of this region and to guarding the ways of penetration into the interior. The nuraghi on the basaltic plateaus seem to defend the inland areas of grazing and hunting, while the nuraghi on the plain below protected the fertile lands that were an important source of economic livelihood through agriculture. The results of the spatial analysis are confirmed by the data from the excavations at the Cuccurada nuraghe, one of the most impressive proto-historic monuments in the area. Recent archaeobotanical analysis effected in this site testify an advanced and diversified agriculture, where the main cultivated cereals are represented by barley naked and dressed, hard and soft wheats. Together with cereals it is also documented cultivation of legumes and consumption of different wild fruits.File | Size | Format | |
