The archaeological site of Fiavè is one of the most important prehistoric European pile dwelling complexes Giudicarie, Trento province, northern Italy
The Fiavé pile dwellings, together with the Ledro pile dwellings and 109 other archaeological sites, are part of the serial and transnational site "Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps", included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2011. The discovery of the existence of a prehistoric settlement in the basin of the former Lake Carera, which has progressively silted up, came about in the mid-19th century as a result of peat extraction work. Systematic research was carried out from 1969 to 1976 in two distinct areas of the peat bog and the adjacent Doss Gustinaci. In 1981 investigations were resumed, in which Italian and foreign institutes, museums and universities took part.
