Abstract

During the intensive survey carried out by the author in the territory of Carini, within the framework of a thesis in Beni Culturali Archeologici coordinated by prof. Aurelio Burgio, it has been recognised a rural settlement in use from the 3rd century BC to the first half of the 7th century AD in contrada Amone, near Giardinello (Pa). In Modern Age a great rural complex, organized in different agricultural structures of the 17th century and used until the ‘70s, was supeimposed to this settlement. One of these structure was built on the ruins of a roman bath which belonged to the residential complex of ancient period.
