The event was organised at Usini on the occasion of the presentation of the volume Usini. Ricostruire il passato. Una ricerca internazionale a S'Elighe Entosu (Usini. Reconstructing the past. International Research at S'Elighe Entosu) , Sassari, Editor Carlo Delfino, 2010. 

The occasion was preceded and enriched by a student workshop on archaeology at the "Grazia Deledda" Junior School in Usini, on the theme From earth to paper, from the dig to the manual: the adventures of an archaeological find. 

The presentation of the book was not intended as a celebration, but rather as a festival of culture, to mark the first successful step in the ongoing journey of University research at Usini. The event was honoured by the presence of Dean Prof. Attilio Mastino, by Prof. Alberto Moravetti, by the representative of the Soprintendenza Archeologica Dr. Maria Chiara Satta, by the host, Mayor Giuseppe Achenza and by Prof. Maria Grazia Melis, who on behalf of the international équipe that organised the event, thanked all those in their various roles who were able to make a contribution: 

The SARDÒS ASSOCIATION, which ran the morning activities with the children of the Junior School; 

The LOCAL COUNCIL OF USINI which, reconfirming it's decades long vocation to the defence and appreciation of cultural heritage in the area, made an indispensable financial contribution as well as logistical support to the activities in the field, and proved unceasingly generous with help and hospitality.

A particular thought goes to the Mayor Giuseppe Achenza, who was able to foresee the possibilities for development and the benefits which the community of Usine could receive and will continue to receive from the project; the Cultural Assessor Dr. Iole Serra and all the members of the Council, who have supported us with their enthusiasm; to the council secretary, to Surveyor Sabbatino Satta, to all the technical and administrative personnel and workers who offered their constant support;
