Irregular stela of beola gneiss found during the building of the road to Indemini in mid-March 1917, when a moraine was cleared near the locality Campaccio, at a depth of ca. 1.5 m ({{bib|Giussani 1919}}: 15 f.). Dating based on {{bib|De Marinis & Motta 1991}}: 206, who tentatively ascribe the stela to their type B (rectangular stela with anthropomorphic frame); the neck and beginning of the head are in fact quite well visible (cf. {{bib|Motta 2000}}: 199, no. 4). {{bib|Morandi 2004}} gives the first half of the 4<sup>th</sup> c. BC.
Irregular stela of beola gneiss, incomplete on top, found during the building of the road to Indemini in mid-March 1917, when a moraine was cleared near the locality Campaccio, at a depth of ca. 1.5 m ({{bib|Giussani 1919}}: 15 f.). The stela is the only inscribed stone document from the Sopraceneri, but belongs typologically with the ones from the Sottoceneri ([[Lugano]] area) ({{bib|Piana Agostinetti 2004}}: 145 f.). See the inscription page on the typological/palaeographical dating.

Irregular stela of beola gneiss, incomplete on top, found during the building of the road to Indemini in mid-March 1917, when a moraine was cleared near the locality Campaccio, at a depth of ca. 1.5 m (Giussani 1919: 15 f.). The stela is the only inscribed stone document from the Sopraceneri, but belongs typologically with the ones from the Sottoceneri (Lugano area) (Piana Agostinetti 2004: 145 f.).
