I would like to add that Tykot himself is not very detailed, when he writes about the date of these nuraghi (Brunku Madugui, Barumini and Duos Nuraghes) he simply states "they are the only ones for which evidence seem to place them earlier than 1.700 b.C.". If so, this would put them in the antecedent period (called Bunnanaro B), not in the Nuragic I, where Common Consense does at present. He also refers of an other case (nuraghe Noeddos - Trump, 1990 dated 1750 - 1500 b.C) in which the date precedes the Nuragic I.
But these figures, again, are not clear to me: I cannot obtain them from the data he notates in his table. :o)
Now this may not seem important to people who research mainly or preferably among English Archaeology items and problems, but I assure you that in Sardinia this is presently a rather [B]hot topic[/B, as are the functions of the nuraghi, the rebuilding, their total number and almost everything about them ].}
I really hope some one will be so kind as to help me out of my empasse in interpreting C14 dating...
Thank you.
