ARCHAEOLOGY: ROMAN AND NURAGIC REMAINS DISCOVERED

(AGI) - Sassari, Italy, Nov 30 - Police in Porto Torres have recovered an
imperial roman women's head inside private premises, described as being a
"fine item". Experts believe the item was stolen from a museum, as indicated
by the presence of pedestal marks on its base. The bust was recovered as
part of a batch of 71 items. The remains were recovered in two parts of the
city and are ascribable to two distinct settlements. Nuragic remains (2000
BC) including millstones, pestles and farming tools which would seem to
prove the presence of a large organised settlement, and are seen to bear the
scars of industrial farming; a fact which is at odds with the area's being
subject to heritage listing which in theory bars farmers from using the
land. The second batch of remains were the marble friezes of a imperial
roman temple, coins and tombstones.
