On the first floor, the materials are displayed in the corridors and rooms (created in the original cells of the convent) located on three sides of the building which develops around the cloister below. Along the corridors are displays containing the materials of the so-called Antiquarium, i.e. ceramic, clay, bronze, and stone objects, mostly for funerary use, which were grouped by type and decontextualised in the museum’s original exhibition. On the northern side of the building, rooms 1-4 complete the display of the funerary objects on the ground floor, hosting those from the necropolis of S. Antonio (4th-1st century BC) and the late Republican period, related to cremation, found in via Giannuzzi and via Urso. Room 5 is instead dedicated to the Messapian walls of Ugento, which also contain some large parallelepiped blocks of calcarenite. On the eastern side of the building, in rooms 6, 7, 11 and 12, there are materials from the ancient port of Ugento, in Torre San Giovanni, both from the excavations carried out in 1975-1976 and 2014-2016. Among the former, in particular, those from the early Hellenistic period should be mentioned, coming from the sanctuary dedicated to Artemis Bendis, to whom room 7 is dedicated. Room 14 contains materials from the prehistoric and protohistoric era, not only from Ugento but also from Leuca. On the west side of the building, in rooms 15-19, is the numismatic section, with coins covering a chronological range between the 5th century BC and the 17th-18th centuries AD; particularly noteworthy are the bronze issues from the Messapian mint of Ugento (3rd-2nd century BC) and a hoard of silver denarii from the early 2nd-early 1st century BC Finally, room 20 presents a selection of medieval ceramic materials produced in Ugento, pertaining to a kiln drain found in via Madonna della Luce in 1974 and some vases recovered from a drain pit found in via Messapica in 2005.
