The necropolis of Cruccuris

Not far from Santa Maria’s thermal baths (150-200 m), west of Villasimius, there is the necropolis of Cruccuris, dating back between the I and II century A.D.

Till nowadays only a few tombs, made with stones, have been the object of scientific excavations; there, some funeral undamaged outfits, including several ointment jars meant to follow the dead after life, were preserved.

The archaeological theories would link the history of the necropolis to that of the near settlement of St Mary, but to bear out these thesis it will be necessary to continue in larger excavations.
