The village of Puisteris is situated at the margins of the basaltic plateau of Perdiana, at a short distance from the Mogoro at a few hundred meters from the State Road No.131. the site was discovered in the 50’s; since then, archaeological research has brought to light one of the largest Neolithic villages of Sardinia, with residues of over 260 hut-like structures of various shape.

This important settlement must have been one of the chief processing centres of obsidian in the Mount Arci area. The first settlement dates from the Middle Neolithic (Bonu Ighinu and St. Ciriaco Cultures - 4th millennium B.C.); it lasted until the early 3rd millennium B.C., inhabited by peoples belonging to the Ozieri Culture, with occasional frequentations in Nuragic age, too (nuraghe of Puisteris).

Subsequent studies allowed the recuperation of important finds, among which tools and weapons in obsidian and flint, in addition to richly decorated clay objects referring to the Ozieri Culture. This site has also unearthed a (likely) sacrificial table, as well as a sort of astral disc located in the highest region of the village. Here, a few statuettes featuring the Mediterranean Mother Goddess were found, as an evidence of the cult of Earth and Fertility.
