The settlement was active between the sixth and third century, B.C. and subject of a campaign of excavations in the years 1980-1981, carried out by the regional board of the ministry of cultural heritage and environmental conservation. An important and relevant group of votive terra-cotta, among which prevails the type of the reclining deceased, complements the exhibition.
