I risultati dello studio osteologico integrated archaeological information from the tombs of the necropolis of Nogales Olmo (VR) will be the subject of an exhibition organized by the Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of the Veneto in collaboration with the Department of Archaeology, University of Padua at Villa Badoer at Fratta Polesine, home to houses the National Archaeological Museum. The site
Olmo of Nogales, located in Verona plain along the banks of the river Tartarus, a few miles from Legnago (VR), was excavated in the '80s and '90s by the Archaeological Superintendence of Veneto under the direction of Luciano Salzani. The excavations have revealed a vast necropolis, characterized by biritualismo, no less than 456 graves at burial and 61 cremation dating from the Bronze Age and the recent average (XV - XIII sec.aC).
This is one of the most important necropolis dating from the Bronze Age throughout the early history of Italian, for having returned from a male burial of the most spectacular collections of bronze swords found perfectly preserved today in Europe, as well as many kits from from the graves of women, represented by pins, brooches and bronze beads of amber. However the aspect that perhaps more than others is unique about the necropolis of Nogales Olmo is the excellent state of preservation and completeness of the anatomy of the skeletal remains found buried. This is a very rare in archaeological practice, which allowed us to undertake a systematic study of paleobiology over the skeletal material allowing it to reconstruct the state of occupational health and activity, but also to recognize one of the oldest documented evidence of armed conflict for the our country. On display will be visible
some original burials, as well as numerous archaeological materials found in the tombs and a review of the osteological remains the most important to tell the story of a people who lived and died in the Veneto region in the remote Bronze Age.
