Nuragic Complex of Sa Sedda e Sos Carros

The Nuragic complex of sa Sedda 'e sos Carros is an archaeological site located in the territory of Oliena, in the Lanaittu Valley, in the province of Nuoro [1]. The name in Sardinian language means "the passing point of the wagons" [1]. Of great importance is the presence of a roundhouse with basin, one of the best preserved of nuragic Sardinia [1]. The structure is a fountain which worked through a hydraulic implant [1]. Water arrived through the mouth of ram shaped protomes into the central basin thanks to a water raceway and lead pipes coming out of the protomes [1]. The site was also a metallurgical center provided with a foundry; iron slags were in fact recovered during archaeological excavations [1].
