Non solo scavo: novità dal Bostel di Rotzo (VI) a venticinque anni dall'avvio delle indagini dell'Università di Padova

This paper presents the most relevant updates related to the archaeological investigations carried out in the proto-historic settlement of Bostel (municipality of Rotzo, Vicenza – Italy) during the years 2017-2019. In particular, it discuss-es the results of the excavations in sector D and G, and the implications of the first radiocarbon dates ever performed in the site. The excavation revealed the existence of one new house unit (in sector G) and helped to understand the pla-nimetry of the archaeological remains in sector D, especially with regards to the domestic building and the small, squared structure in limestone slabs. The 14C analysis shed new light on the time-span of the human presence in the area, suggesting a sporadic occupa-tion at the beginning of the Iron Age and backdating the permanent settlement at least to the mid-fifth century BC.
