摘要:At the archaeological site at Su Padrigheddu, which is adjacent to the large Nuragic tower complex of nuraghe S’Uraki, a large and richly varied collection of surface finds was made in the early 1980s, when the field concerned was deep-ploughed to create a eucalyptus plantation. As a result of the trees that have grown since, further fieldwork has been impossible. Although the site was initially interpreted as a cremation cemetery, more careful analysis of the pottery collected has shown that the ceramic assemblage is quite varied, which makes interpretation as a village more likely. The prevalence of Nuragic pottery leaves little doubt that it must be seen as an indigenous Nuragic settlement. It was probably first established in the Late Bronze Age and remained continuously inhabited until the early Roman Imperial period. Preliminary study of these finds in 2006 has allowed identification of Iron Age Phoenician and Nuragic pottery. More detailed research was carried out 2010-1 by macro analysis on fabrics and on manufacturing techniques through xeroradiography. The pottery appears to document a variety of interactions between local inhabitants and newcomers during the Iron Age. Analysis of the finds has documented early changes in Nuragic ceramic practices from the 8th c. BC, when new pottery types – such as so-called Sant’Imbenia-type amphorae and Phoenician-style bowls were produced with traditional – mainly hand-made – manufacturing techniques. Most of these new forms were made in the same fabric that characterises local Nuragic ceramic production since the Late Bronze Age. A different situation can be observed from the 7th c. BC, when new fabrics and more diversified and larger amounts of Phoenician-style pottery appeared.
