The territory of Dicomano is rich in archaeological finds. The area of Frascole is the place that has returned most archaeological finds. The Frascole Archaeological excavations offers a visit to a daily exploration archaeological area. The numerous excavations have brought to light:
- the foundations of the ancient Romanesque church of S. Martino al Poggio
- materials dating from the 6th century. B.C. at I ° sec. d. C.
- quadrangular perimeter of an Etruscan building. Probably this is a defensive structure controlling the transit road from Casentino. The building could also be a fortified residence belonging to a large rural gentry family. It is not to be neglected the hypothesis that it could be a great temple because of the rediscovery of the pottery fragments
- fiesolane stele. It is a funeral monument of the 6th century. to. C., well-preserved, with a bas-relief decoration, depicting a bearded male figure, which may, inter alia, indicate the presence of a sepulchre between Frascole and the capital.
