Most of the finds displayed in the Museum were found in the area called ‘Serra Città’.

They show a society devoted to agriculture and sheep farming, but also to handcraft for producing artistic pottery and pottery for everyday use.

Several weights for looms were found, showing textile activities, mostly reserved to women.

The products of agriculture and sheep farming used to provide the resources for acquiring ceramics and metal, particularly found as part of funeral outfits.

Commercial activities were also relevant and were favourite by the position that the River Noce occupies in the complex net of the old commercial routes and by the position occupied by this hill, overlooking the crossing point of several main routes.
