The research conducted by M.W. Stoop (1963-1969) and then continued later by M.

Abstract

The research conducted by M.W. Stoop (1963-1969) and then continued later by M. Kleibrink on the acropolis of Timpone della Motta represent an important contribution to the knowledge of the Enotrian settlement, which later entered the Sybarite sphere of influence. The study presented here examines a sector of the old Stoop excavations (so-called Area Chiesetta) which had led to the discovery of a stratigraphy and a structure in squared blocks, interpreted by the scholar as a fence. The stratigraphic re-examination and a more in-depth analysis allow us to reconsider the discovery in a more complex and articulated way, recognizing its connection with the archaic temple, heir to a previous wooden temple.
