Description

The site was used by people during the Mesolithic Era (7000-6000 BC) and again in the Late Neolithic (3800- 3600 BC). The most significant aspects of the settlement arethe houses dating to the Bronze Age. The dwellings, built just above the waterline, stood on decks that were supported by conifer piles (1800-1500 BC) and later either on the ground, or above the water (1500-1350 BC). The archaeobotanical and archaeozoological analyses have allowed us to reconstruct many aspects of the daily life at the time. Some of there covered artefacts are exhibited in the local museum. The general area of the site can be visited. The Archaeo Park will be inaugurated on 26th June 2021.

The following projects have recently been promoted and implemented:
The museum accessibility project: “T-essere memoria. The museum meets Alzheimer's", with a visit to the Museum and laboratory activities, dedicated to the creation of ceramic vessels, the processing of cereals, milk, fruits, andweaving.
And the project “What a time those times! The unveiled heritage: the pile dwellings of Fiavé - from the peat bog to the Archaeo Park ". This is a path of "shared memory", on the occasion of the opening of the archaeological park. The project is based on the collection of photographic images taken during the excavations, in the 1970s, in which many citizens of Fiavé participated as volunteers.
