Between the end of the 6th and the beginning of the 5th century BC, the organization of the urban space is structured along a main street, running east-west, paved with large stone slabs and intersected by narrow perpendicular streets, on which the houses face.
The contemporary necropolis has yielded funerary equipment with Greek-style painted pottery, gold and amber jewelry, and Greek-style armor. These are the burials of those Basileis (kings), remembered by ancient sources.
From the first half of the 4th century BC, the settlement layout of the Lucanian age was established, inhabited until the first quarter of the 3rd century BC, characterized by monumental fortifications made of squared blocks and city access gates. Inside the walls, residential neighborhoods overlapping those built in the 6th century BC can be visited.
Noteworthy is an important experimental archaeology project that allowed for the complete reconstruction of one of these buildings using ancient techniques.
