Abstract

This work reports the preliminary results of the archaeological investigations carried out in the Su Mrajani Cave, near Iglesias (South Sardinia). The cavity, located on the top of Monte Casula, is formed by two communicating rooms: a great room covered by a rock vault and an uncovered space, in which the vault collapsed in remote times. The didactic archaeological excavation was carried out in the second space by the University of Cagliary between 2011 and 2013, with the participation of students from the Universities of Cagliari, Sassari and Roma Tre. The archaeological materials recovered, have allowed us to outline a rich and articulated chronological-cultural picture, with a continuous anthropic occupation of the cave, probably for housing and funeral purposes, from the Early Neolithic to the Middle Ages. Occupation during the Monte Claro and Nuragic periods is particularly evident.
