SUMMARY - Fireplaces and braziers in Sardinia between the late Neolithic Age and the Copper Age - Some funerary hypogea of the Late Neolithic Age of Sardinia show a reproduction of both structural (pillars, beams, roof) and functional (doors, stairs etc.) elements of a house at their inside. The representation of a circular fireplace situated in the middle of the main room and realized through the techniques of incision or relief proves to be noteworthy among the other functional elements. At he present time this element does not have any counterpart in coeval ceramic, lithic or metal handmade articles. Only a single ceramic exemplar of brazier belonging to the Chalcolithic culture of Monte Claro could be considered the copy of a former well-known model.
