Aosta, Saint-Martin-de-Corléans Archeological Museum and Park The prehistoric site

The prehistoric archaeological site in the territorial context valdostano

The first inhabitants

The present state of research, the Valle d'Aosta was inhabited from the VIII - VII millennium BC by groups of Mesolithic hunters, inoltratisi in the territory in conjunction with the gradual withdrawal of the largest glacier in the Quaternary occupied the Valle d'Aosta.
There are few traces of the Neolithic, the period after which lasted about two millennia, 5000-3000 BC

THE THIRD MILLENNIUM

Between the end of the fourth millennium BC and the dawn of the third in the Aosta Valley is documented the arrival of a complex of new cultural elements, the eastern mining (Asia Minor, the Caucasus), which are adopted by the local communities of the late Neolithic.

It is at this time that occurs the transition from the Neolithic to the Copper Age (or Eneolithic), whose particular importance is determined by the introduction of numerous innovative technological elements, even fundamental today, including metallurgy, the plow, the wheel.

On the ideological level the evidence brought to light reveal the presence of very complex religious beliefs, he expressed in different and specific rituals, materialized by megalithic monuments as well as the numerous rock carvings, found on the rocks of the whole region and are characterized by symbolic forms.

THE DISCOVERY AND THE HISTORY OF RESEARCH

The discovery of the megalithic of Aosta, situated at the ancient church of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans the western outskirts of the city, dates back to June 1969.
During excavations begun for building purposes, it spotted a vast archaeological site in which you could immediately recognize the importance of prehistoric remains that were highlighting.

On this basis, established the extent and the full extent of the findings, the Regional Administration of Valle d'Aosta proceeded to the acquisition of the affected area, in order to preserve in situ the precious monuments. In a short time they began the systematic research, with annual excavations continue for more than two decades, locations for further study in 2001 and between 2006 and 2008, up to polls microexcavation carried out in our days.

To protect and conserve the area has acted through the setting up of a museum and archaeological park, which allows the usability and enhancement of the site.
