In the east of the Corsica Cape, several hearths being able to justify the human presence approximately - 80.000 with - 60.000 years ago before Jesus Christ, were updated. Excavations made it possible to find traces similar on the isle of Elba, distant of Corsica from hardly 50 kms. These results would tend to confirm the human presence on Corsica, however the absence of traces of the first occupants of the island, raises a doubt.
The period going of IXème in thousand-year-old VIIIème will confirm the human presence on the Corsica ground.
The period of VIIème in thousand-year-old VIème brings much answers to us. Indeed, in the north of the island in a calcareous area, traces of human presence practising hunting and fishing were found.
In Corsica, the Neolithic era occupies one period higher in time in comparison than that of the continent, since it will last of thousand-year-old VIIème to arrive at the end of the second millenium. With the appearance of the Bronze Age, the Neolithic era disappears slowly.
Prehistory
Old Neolithic era (8500 years before J-C) mark the beginning of the first installations on many sites, such as for example “Araguinna Sennola”.
In 1956, excavations undertaken in forest of Vizzavona, make it possible to update shards of pottery. Thereafter of other shards will be discovered on sites like amongst other things, St-Florent and Filitosa. These discoveries will make it possible to recognize Neolithic the period known as “cardiale”. The prehistoric site of Filitosa, close to Sartène, is excavated since years 54. One can discover there many megaliths set up at the time of the period of old bronze. At the end of thousand-year-old IIème before J-C, these megaliths are replaced by anthropomorphic menhirs, bearing swords and daggers of the Méditerranéen type in low relief. Of a surprising realism, these megaliths are comparable with those which one can find on the continent.
One will then see appearing a wave of migrants, setting up monuments hones some (Torre- “turns”), located at Moca-croce, Olmeto, Petreto-bicchino, Zonza, Filitosa… This last site, at summer classified by UNESCO, like one of the most important fields of the world for prehistory.
Corsica is then at the dawn of Protohistoire…
Araguinna Sennola
The prehistoric site, close to Bonifacio, made it possible to check the assumptions of the presences human dice the old Neolithic era. The site excavated since 1966, updated the skeleton of a young woman going back to approximately 6500 years before J-C. This recent discovery, confirms the seniority of the human establishment on Corsica.
