Discovered in 2000, the Necropolis of Pill 'e Mata proved to be important both for the integrity of the tombs and for the typological characteristics that distinguish it from those so far known in Sardinia.
The burials are between the Punic age and the late Roman age (IV century BC - IV / V century AD).
During the thousand years of funeral activity, the types of burial have undergone variations according to the societies that have followed over time.
The wide chronological span, the richness of the kits and the anthropological study are the only ones in Sardinia and in the Mediterranean.
The necropolis was the subject of study by the forensic anthropologist Don Brothwell, an English luminary, who died in 2016 and is famous all over the world for his studies, including that on the mummy of Nefertiti.
