Abstract

The paper focuses on three contexts of central Sardinia, within the historical districts of Marmilla and Sarcidano: S. Vittoria (Serri), Sa Domu Beccia (Uras) and Su Mulinu (Villanovafranca). The subject of analysis is the relationship between the strategic value of these places in the landscape and the presence of burials, dating from the late 7th to well into the 8th century CE. These graves are related to human groups or families that, through their grave goods, seem to adopt a new ‘language’ linked to the ostentation of their prerogatives.
