“…the discovery site is the garden adjacent to the house of a certain Domenico Canopolo, who, wanting to provide his residence with a cesspool, at four meters deep from the surface of the ground uncovered the unsuspected ruin and out of curiosity to see its shape, as well as the hope of finding treasures, completely emptied both the cesspool and the access stairwell and the small clearing in front; and he had already begun the demolition of the external parts of the cesspool itself when the Superintendency was able to intervene…” (Antonio Taramelli “Excavations and Discoveries 1922-1939” – from the series “Sardegna Archeologica” directed by Alberto Moravetti. Carlo Delfino publisher 1985). In the photos by Sergio Melis, Bibi Pinna, Nicola Castangia, ArcheoUri Vagando, and Marco Cocco: the sacred well “Predio Canopoli” of Perfugas.
