During the years 2001-2002, the "Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma" conductedrescue excavations of the "Tenuta Quadraro" in the south-east of Rome, finding out remarkable andextensive archaeological evidences referable to a period between the Bronze and the Roman Ages. Among them, some artificial adjustments came out including many portions of stone made riverbankand terracing along two ancient water courses referable to the not advanced Final Bronze Age. Suchnear-site arrangements had to delimit on East and West a settlement that could be localized in theupper side of the hump bordered by the two ancient water courses. Unfortunately the settlementdeposits are not well preserved due the erosion action
