Chirisconis

The rock tomb necropolis of Chirisconis is located in Suni , in the valley of the Riu Mannu in a curve of the provincial road from Pozzomaggiore to Suni in the province of Sassari in Sardinia . The excavated cemetery dates from the late Neolithikum ( ozieri culture , 3200-2800 v. Chr.) And was during the time copper ( Monte Claro culture , 2700-2200 v. Chr.) Nachgenutzt .

The 12 single and multicellular Domus de Janas of ozieri culture were from the bizarre basalt - digestion carved and rock tombs , their access almost exclusively through a vestibule is done. Remains of red paint can still be seen on the walls of the often very small rooms.

Nearby is the Nuraghe Nuraddeo, which is run by the same cooperative .
