GENERAL SITE TYPE Pottery

TYPE

1.    hab.   Farinetti [2011 AI11], 9    'Also Prehistoric occupation is attested, since Prehistoric potsherds were found on the slopes. They could have rolled down from the top, though a revisit would be needed to clarify it. The site apparently is not listed in Prehistoric gazetteers and therefore the note for Prehistoric pottery is probably only from Fossey (1988: 128). No trace of LH fortification on the top'
