Domus de Janas: are they #prehistoric, are they early #medieval? Sometimes both! ;) https://twitter.com/SardArchaeo/status/1219591500595638272

#Neolithic Domus de Janas in Sedini. Also called the Cathedral of the domus de janas, or simply "La Rocca" by the inhabitants of Sedini. This one stands in the middle of the village and over time housed prisoners, animals, a store, a political party and later a family.
Ok, archaeological mystery time! What is this thing in Loc. Santo Stefano? Is it #neolithic? Is it #paleochristian? #byzantine? No one knows! One of its kind, with a C15 church right in front of it and 8 domus de janas in the immediate area!
Did I show you all the #neolithic fairy houses yesterday? of course not. Does this mean this thread will go on indefinitely?
Su Crocifissu Mannu ("The Big Cross") necropolis, near Porto Torres. Fun fact: it contained a skull with signs of cranial surgery. Not so fun fact: the site was heavily vandalized in 2017.
