SUMMARY-Economic activities and resource exploitation in the nuragic settlement of Sa Osa-Cabras (OR) The Bronze Age settlement of Sa Osa (Cabras), is one of the few Sardinian archaeological sites, which allows us to reconstruct a complete picture on the development of the exploitation of natural resources, agricultural technologies, breeding and capture of the early history of Sardinia. The time range is from the early stages of the Middle Bronze until Final Bronze age. The carpological remains found show a high degree of specialization in agriculture. The presence of animal remains found testifies the practice of breeding of some domestic animals like sheep, goats, pigs and cattle. Moreover, hunting, documented by the remains of deer and wild boar, played an important role. Among the so far studied osteological fragments mammals that inhabit woodlands and others who prefer plants of plains have been recognized. From these data a strong relationship between man and environment emerges. Although the early history of Sardinia, the role of the fishing seems limited to a secondary position than farming, in the nuragic site of Sa Osa the presence of a quite amount of remains of fish fauna and furnishings attributed to fishing equipment testify an economy based on the exploitation of fish resources.

Il complesso nuragico di San Marco di Genuri, situato ai piedi del versante sud-occidentale della Giara di Gesturi, è costituito da un nuraghe di tipo quadrilobato con antemurale e villaggio. Dal pozzo presente nel cortile del corpo centrale, dismesso e sigillato tra il BR e il BF, provengono resti osteologici legati al consumo di carni suine e ovicaprine, ma il dato maggiormente evidente è legato alla presenza di un notevole numero di reperti carpologici costituiti per il 95% da semi d'uva, oltre alla presenza di cereali, leguminose, frutti e bacche riferiti a specie selvatiche. Le analisi al radiocarbonio dei semi d'uva, non hanno avuto esito positivo a causa della mineralizzazione dei resti, ma l'associazione con i materiali ceramici datano il contesto nelle prime fasi del Bronzo recente, mentre la loro connotazione morfologica (in corso di determinazione) potrebbe fornire importanti informazioni sull'uso e la domesticazione della vitis vinifera nel panorama protostorico del Mediterraneo occidentale.
SUMMARY-THE WELL / SILO OF THE NURAGHE OF SAN MARCO GENURI (VS)-The Nuraghic housing complex of San Marco of Genuri, located on the southwest slope of the Giara, consists of a quatrefoil type of nuraghe with rampart and village. Osteological remains strictly related to the consumption of pig, sheep and goat meat come from the well (abandoned and sealed between BR and BF) found in the courtyard of the main building. Moreover one of the most remarkable things is a huge number of carpological finds: 95% of grape seeds and wild species of cereals, legumes, fruits and berries too. The radiocarbon dating tests of grape seeds were not successful because of the mineralization of the remains, but the association with ceramics dates this context to the early Bronze Age. Their morphological profile (being determined) could give important information about the use and the growing of Vitis vinifera in the western Mediterranean region during the proto-historic age. Parole chiave: Sardegna, protostoria, civiltà nuragica, pozzo/silos, vinaccioli

Riassunto. Nella campagna di scavo del 2015 sono stati indagati gli edifici nuragici A e B adiacenti alla ne-cropoli di Mont'e Prama. L'edificio A, forse originariamente adibito a funzioni cerimoniali, fu ristrutturato in epoca nuragica, poi svuotato e occupato in epoca punica. Invece il vano B non fu rioccupato ed ha conservato la stratificazione nuragica della Prima Età del Ferro. In questo studio si presentano le strutture e le stratigrafie di entrambi gli edifici e i reperti più significativi recuperati nel vano B. Parole chiave: Penisola del Sinis, Mont'e Prama, Prima Età del Ferro, ceramica nuragica, modello di nura-ghe. Abstract. Buildings A and B next to the Mont'e Prama cemetery have been explored during the 2015 excavation. Building A, perhaps originally used for ceremonial purposes, was restructured in nuragic times, later emptied and occupied in punic times. On the contrary, building B was not re-occupied and preserved its nu-ragic stratification of the Early Iron Age. In this study we present the structures and stratigraphies of both buildings and the most meaningful finds from room B.
