In trenches B24 – B25, investigation continued of a village destroyed by the “pomici di Avellino” eruption of the 18th century B.C. The huts were horseshoe-shaped with a straight short side opposite which was a sort of apse. This was used as a larder and separated from the rest of the hut by a wall attested by a series of post holes. By the entrance along the right hand wall was the hearth or oven. Enclosures separated the structures from an external area characterised by numerous animal footprints. the northern and southern limits of the village were defined and twenty-five buildings identified, of which eight were dwellings.

The collapse of the structures came about in different ways and in different periods. In some cases it occurred in a sudden fashion, in others the collapse seems to have occurred rather later. The alluvial mud deposits that had penetrated the interior of the dwellings presented the footprints of numerous individuals, adults and children, and also the imprints of ropes, matting and straw objects together with numerous vases of the Palma Campania facies.

Outside the huts there were circular structures whose function is unclear together with sub-rectangular structures that probably housed animals.

In the southern sector, close to the limit of the village, a large open area with numerous bushes was identified. Further south a large double palisade with a polygonal line seemed to mark the settlement’s south-western edge.

Furthermore, between trenches B27 and B28 a small necropolis came to light. In use from the 3rd century B.C. onwards it was on the same alignment as the north-south oriented road. Fifteen inhumation burials, mainly on an east-west alignment were investigated. The individuals were buried in supine position. The covering, where present was made up of flat tiles or tufa slabs. The tomb group was placed by the feet of the deceased and comprised black glaze ware vases.
