Fano

settlement · 1900 AD – 2099 AD

According to M.T. Giannotta, Fano (or Masseria Fano) in the comune of Salve, province of Lecce, south Italy, has produced evidence for first-millennium BCE settlement activity. This data has chiefly been acquired from field surveys and the examination of aerial photographs. The latter suggests a fortified site with a wall of irregular blocks facing the Canale Fano. Surface finds of impasto ceramics near Spigolizzi suggest human activity in the eighth century BCE and also likely earlier during the Final Bronze Age as well.
