The necropolis of Puttu Codinu ("rock well") is an archaeological site located in the municipality of Villanova Monteleone, province of Sassari, near the state road 292 that leads to Monteleone Rocca Doria. A necropolis with nine hypogeal tombs was found on the site, in an area with rocks emerging from the surrounding land. The tombs were found by chance during recent excavation work. It is believed that the site began to be used in the recent Neolithic (3500 BC). Source: Wikipedia https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necropoli_di_Puttu_Codinu

(4000-3400 BC). It is considered the first culture in Sardinia to have used natural cavities as sepulchres, which then formed small necropolises.
