The chronology of the previous discovery, unfortunately, no longer occurred in the absence of its findings, has found himself in some way confirmed by the results of an emergency excavation conducted in 1983 not far from the Superintendent, in S. Lucy shared the same (Fig. 1, No. 13, Fig 2, 10). Following a recovery of the Guardia di Finanza some findings from illicit excavations here have been brought to light three burials nasturtium and various remains upset by plowing reported the existence of other burials on the site now irreparably damaged 80.

One of the survivors burials (t 1) presented two adult individuals placed side by side with their backs and EW direction, one of whom had two pins on the side of the skull in a arge

One of the survivors burials (t 1) presented two adult individuals placed side by side with their backs and EW direction, one of whom had two pins on the side of the skull in silver.

The other two, also partially disrupted by plowing, showed similar orientation, and contained the remains only partially preserved in anatomical connection of two other adults.

Among the items of equipment related to burial (Fig. 4) 81, in part recover from the Guardia di Finanza and therefore not specifically attributable to one of the three burials 82, were two pairs of earrings in silver, which would seem to attest to the presence in burial of at least two individuals are female.

These first two specimens of basket-type (Fig. 4, 2) comparable with similar types pretty regularly from Cividale cell-dated between the sixth and last third of the first half of the seventh century 83

For a chronology between the late sixth and seventh centuries is attributable also to the second pair of earrings, a small globes (Fig. 4, 1), comparable to similar finds from the cemetery on time with 84 of Rutigliano, and more broadly speaking with other objects of Sicilian origin and Eastern 85.

It is in their complex finds that, while not appearing to be attributed with certainty to an area ethnically Germanic, we have no less precise chronology and cultural issues connected to vast necropolis also attested in the contemporary relevance of certain Lombard 86.

If this finding is associated with the no less significant given the burial ground in the locality. Veniglia testimony concerning the presence and attested by the early medieval sources in the territory of the Castrum Notaresco Guardiae (Vomano Guard), a Fara S. Dementis and a de Curtis Hall, and at the mouth of the close of a Vomano Gualdum de Vomano, the reality seems to emerge with a significant allocation Lombard along the middle and lower valley of the river Vomano 87.
