One caisson tomb stands out among the many kits coming from the same southern necropolis: it is datable back to the V century B.C. and is composed of various white bottom Attic lekythoi, two trozzellas with geometric decorations, some black varnished ceramics, some silver fibulae (safety pins), one bronze basin and one pendant in rock-cristal. The Neolithic culture is represented by numerous sherds of lithic industry and by a homogeneous group of impasto pots coming from "Muro Maurizio", which may be probably referred to the kit of a kitchen of the Final Bronze.

Remarkable is the collection of Greek coins - which came from the mints of Taranto, Metaponto, Sibari and Crotone - and of the Roman and the southern ones. The track ends with the Medieval culture represented by the finds found in 1975 in the ex Convent of the Celestini (the modern Town Council). At only two kilometres from Latiano, but in the countryside of Mesagne, which is around five kilometres away, there is a vast archaeological site that is evidence of the Messapic and the Roman Age, and that was also inhabited in prehistoric age: Muro Tenente. The site may be easily recognisable from an edge that encloses it and that formed the city wall; the edge has a perimeter of around three kilometres and encloses an area of beyond 40 hectares. Northwards it is skirted by a stretcth of the Appian Way, once called "old street of the Greeks". This site is, perhaps, the Roman Scamnun mentioned in the Tabula Peutingeriana, an ancient Medieval topographical map, that shows a route of the IV century A.C.; it was the last statio (posting station) of the Appian Way, before reaching Brindisi.

Toy-horse (Messapic Age)

The name originates from that of an ancient family (Tenente) that owned the homonymous homestead nearby. In the 60's and 70's, the Archaeological Superintendence conducted thorough excavations that alloved to recover many funerary kits datable from the VII to the III century B.C., and some remains of contemporary houses. The most ancient tombs found were of the underground type with squat (or fetal) position of the corpse and a poor funerary kit. The most recent ones were of the semichember type with more precious finds. Also a small treasure of coins was found, containing more than 300 coins from Taranto and Turi, datable back to the IV century B.C.
