It is an important archaeological site with extended Holocene occupation, supported by numerous radiocarbon dates, which has been subjected to a number of excavations since the nineteen seventies. Here we present and examine the pottery remains belonging to protohistoric (Iron Age) and historic (Romanization, Middle Age and Contemporary Modern Age) periods. Description of their shapes, functional and decorative features have been utilized as references for establish parallelisms with other sites sharing chronology both, at regional and peninsular levels. The collection, which includes approximately 4000 fragments, it is striking neither for its shapes nor for its decorations, however, it helps us to explain why this cave was occupied at the end of Prehistory and sporadically during historical times.
