This campaign concentrated on the western sector of the sanctuary.

At the south-eastern end, below a massive modern earthwork (18th century), the original line of the cliff came to light from which the landslide fell away, partially dragging the area in front of the tempietto of Demeter downhill. A complex structure must have originally stood in this area, comprising a staircase with two lateral wings. Traces of the original plaster were present. In the area to the north-east of trench AB, a circular cistern was uncovered. Restructured in the 18th century, when first constructed it was in phase with the adjacent temple. During cleaning, it was ascertained that the cistern was built (2nd century B.C.) in a position abutting an archaic terracing wall (7th-6th century B.C.), on a north-east/south-west alignment. In the section, it was seen that this wall was abutted to the west by a rock bench, artificially cut into shape, and that it had been built with large pseudo-parallelepiped blocks wedged with small thin slabs and stone chippings. The wall was preserved for about one metre and will be excavated during coming campaigns.

In trench AA, situated next to the temple’s rear perimeter wall, the closing wall of another enclosure (enclosure V) was found. This represents the last building operation in this quarter. This courtyard appeared to have been created in order to fill the empty space between enclosure IV and the tempietto of Demeter, which were both pre-existing. Inside the courtyard, largely damaged by the construction of a medieval building, a layer characterised by the presence of small hearths containing votive balsamari and iron nails, was uncovered. The western sector of the sanctuary dedicated to the cults of Demeter, therefore resulted as comprising a sequence of five open-air enclosures, ending with a temple building situated towards the downhill area.
