Commentary

La Tène grave found in 1938 during construction work in the locality Nava, a little valley on the south-western edge of Ardena, a fraction of Brusimpiano on Monte Castelletto (property of Antonio Bernasconi; coordinates approximate). The grave was made of a rectangular cist; of the furniture, only a fiasca a trottola and a bowl are left. The dating to La Tène C2 (first half of 2nd century BC) is based on the typology of the bottle. See Bertolone 1941: 27 f. and Rapi 2009b for details and the former, p. 26–29, for further grave finds from the Ardena necropolis.
