Abstract

The site of Baselice (BN), along the left bank of Cervaro torrent, was excavated during 2001 and 2007. The archaeological finds, dated to Early Neolithic, are mainly small pits, some of which with ritual use, structures and burning pits. To Middle-Final Neolithic belong only some structures with ash and small amounts of faunal remains. The fauna of Early Neolithic indicates that ovicaprines are the most numerous among domesticated animals. Cattles, pigs and dogs are following. Hunting activity is still keeping a certain role at the meat supply procedure through the predation of red deer, roe deer and wild boar. Rests of deer antlers demonstrate the exploitation of that raw material for tool making.
