    Tips

    March 22, 2022

    The building was discovered by the archaeologists Francesco Samarelli and Angelo Mosso on August 6, 1909, in the locality of "la Chianca" in the territory of Bisceglie, in an area a few kilometers away from the Pulo di Molfetta, very close to a long and deep valley called "lama di Santa Croce ", full of caves that were the seat of human frequentation in several phases. The first excavations were conducted by the discoverers at the time of the discovery and were continued by the archaeologist Michele Gervasio in the last months of 1910 [2]. When the dolmen was discovered the local farmers had already removed everything before the excavations, even if some traces of the piles of stones and dirt that covered the building were evident to the eyes of the archaeologists.
