Isili were submitted to the results of archaeological investigations that have affected the Nuraghe Asus. The monument is located on the outskirts of the village within the city park, on a small hill near the canal path from the river Brabaciera. Until a few years ago appeared as a disorganized pile of stones and was used by shepherds as a shelter for livestock, but after three years of the excavation site is proving its secrets.
The results of these studies were reported during a conference held in Isili, by Professor John Ugas, Professor of Prehistory and Early History at the University of Cagliari and Dr. Alessandra Saba, archaeologist isilese. The experts showed that the Nuraghe Asusa overlooking a plateau where there is significant concentration of towers nuragiche, a sign of the strategic and economic region Sarcidano. But the most interesting news for fans of archeology is the identification of a village near the Nuraghe of which, during the last excavations, were discovered a few huts. The small town shows various overlaps databili a partire dal 1600 a.C. fino al 1150 a.C.
Il nuraghe Asusa, realizzato intorno al 1300 a.C., risulta composto da due torri che si affacciano su un cortile e presenta l'ingresso principale ad est. In uno degli ambienti interni gli archeologi hanno riportato alla luce una ghiera circolare pertinente ad un pozzo o ad una cisterna, ancora da esplorare.
Gli studiosi hanno anche sottolineato la notevole somiglianza formale dell'Asusa con l’altro, notissimo, nuraghe di Isili, quello di “Is Paras”, fatto che induce a pensare che i due edifici possano essere stati progettati e realizzati dalle stesse maestranze. Ma gli archeologi, oltre che sulla struttura architettonica, stanno stanno indagando anche sull'utilizzo dell'Asusa as a place of worship, given the presence of the well-tank. The surprise, therefore, there and the next archaeological excavations could reveal more secrets connected with this monument Nuraghic.
