Fossa - Ancient stone calendar found / Un antico calendario di pietra, by Angela Baglioni
In the November issue of American "Archeology Magazine" an article on Fossa "menhirs". The stone giants could have been calendars based on the shadow of the monument; of interest also the heap tombs, typical of pre-Roman times, and the more recent chamber tombs with beds in bone and ivory (250 beds found so far) which suggest the presence of a bed manufacture possibly in Aveia.
