In addition to the more typical agricultural and pastoral activities, which formed the economic base of the time, the Enotri also produced pottery decorated with geometric motifs.
Metalworking also developed significantly, with the production of ornamental bronzes, fibulae, pendants, armlets, and decorative disks, attesting to the level of wealth attained by individuals within the community.
The rich funerary items, displayed in various archaeological museums of Basilicata, demonstrate the extraordinary skill achieved by the craftsmen.
