Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry in Sardinia (Sardegna)
Located on eastern slope of Monte Arci volcano, the site of Sennixeddu was an important centre of obsidian quarrying and working. Remains of the workshops are dated for the Neolithic. Domination of obsidian from Monte Arci is visible also in the Nuragic (Bronze Age) assemblages.
