I.  INTRODUCTION

Evidence for the existence of non-elite habitation on the hill of Poggio Civitate is

scanty.  The discovery of a well 147.5 m. west of the Archaic Complex (LS I, MG II,

JBB II) and the probable existence of a building of light-framed architecture down il Piano del Tesoro to the

south of that complex (AJC/ARR I, II) hints at the possiblity that non-elite individuals

may have dwelt on the hill.  The excavation of CB-58 located both west of the Archaic

Complex and the ancient road that runs roughly from north to south across the hill is

an effort to search for such evidence.
