Nuraghe Cava Barbusi I

The Nuraghe Cava Barbusi I is a historical landmark located in the territory of Carbonia, in the locality Barbusi, within the Sulcis Iglesiente, an area full of testimonies related to the nuragic civilization. Nuraghe Cava Barbusi I is part of an environmental context characterized by reliefs and natural caves, elements that help to define the archaeological landscape of the area.
The site is one of the traces of the ancient nuragic settlement spread in the territory, with probable functions related to the garrison and control of local resources, typical of the Bronze Age communities. Its location in an area now partially modified by anthropic activity increases its archaeological interest, as it highlights the stratification between ancient landscape and modern transformations. The Nuraghe Cava Barbusi I thus contributes to the understanding of the settlement network of Sulcis and the distribution of nuragic sites in the Carbonia area.
