Muro di cinta arcaico sulle pendici occidentali della Patela (scavi 2007-2009)

This paper describes the excavations, restoration and study activities conducted at Prinias in 2009 and 2010 by an archaeological mission of Catania University and the Istituto per i Beni Archeologici e Monumentali of the CNR. In particular, the paper concerns three trenches opened on the western slopes of the plateau, along a long tract of fortification wall which had been previously identified, and possibly dated back to the VII century BC.
