Protonuraghe Orgono
The Protonuraghe Orgono in Ghilarza in the province of Oristano in Sardinia is a prototype or Korridornuraghe and a chimera. Protonuraghen (also corridor or pseudonuraghen, Italian Nuraghe a corridoio ) are the pre- or early form of the classical tower structures or Tholosnuraghen ( Italian Nuraghe a tholos ) of the Bronze Age nuragic cultures of Sardinia. It is in very good condition, but does not have a homogeneous structure as it was built in different eras and with different techniques.
The base, built using the Cyclops technique , with large, seamlessly processed blocks, has an elliptical chamber with an inverted boat-shaped ceiling (donkey's back) and a few other rare structures, such as a staircase that starts from the central chamber and a large niche in the outer wall that has no connection with the interior, i.e. does not represent a window, and its function is unknown. This ancient nuraghe was later overbuilt with a younger tholosnuraghe.
Time position
The approximately 300 Protonuraghi on Sardinia were formed during phase B of the two-phase Bonnanaro culture , which was the successor to the both megalithic and Copper Age Monte Claro culture between 1800 and 1500 BC. Ruled.
