Bonu Ighinu culture

[1] It takes its name from a locality in the municipality of Mara, province of Sassari, where the cave of Sa de Ucca of Tintirriolu (the mouth of the bat) is located.

People of the Bonuighinu culture were the first in Sardinia to have used natural cavities as graves, which then formed small necropolis.

The subsistence agriculture was based on growing wheat, barley, peas, and lentils[2] and keeping cattle, pigs, sheep, and goat.

[3] Bonu Ighinu pottery is mostly thin-walled and highly polished varying in colour from brown to dark grey.

Decorations executed in micro-point impressions or engraved lines depict festoons and other geometric symbols.
