Abstract

The production settlement of the Iron Age of Pianvalle (CO), whose duration is between the sixth and fourth centuries. a.C., is characterized by the presence of structures related to metalworking and many finds, such as slag heaps, moulds and objects used for smelting. The detailed analysis of the structures has allowed us to identify, based on their morphological and stratigraphic characteristics, furnaces, hearths and structures in connection with fire points.
