The area under investigation is situated beside the east-west drove road known in the bibliography as the Basento Road. A farm structure of medium size was uncovered, its total length being circa 16m. It had a central, open atrium characterized by a fine cobble pavement and a long storage area which takes up the entire western side of the building. Its use for storage is documented by the presence of housings for large clay containers. The structure has a footing of cobbles and tile fragments. This site in its final form can be dated to the second half of the 4th century B.C. However, numerous elements in secondary deposit, such as Ionic B2 cups, suggest that it had earlier phases with occupation beginning as early as the second half of the 6th century B.C. Its abandonment is coherent with that of other rural sites and seems to date to the middle decades of the 3rd century B.C.
Finds of numerous fragments of terracotta reliefs with reclining figures are of particular significance. This iconography is quite well known and is widespread in all Metapontine votive and workshop contexts. In this specific case, it appears that in the composition of the reclining figure, apart from the usual beardless or bearded young man with stephane, a mould of the head of Zeus with polos was also used. The typological and chronological homogeneity of the material indicates that this is a small sacred deposit, made by the family and conserved within the confines of the farm. (Maria Luisa Nava).
