Summary (English)

  • During this campaign the investigations mainly concentrated on building β, situated in the northernmost part of the settlement, and in the south area, in the flat zone in front of the town wall.
    In building β, the substantial layers of collapse occupying room II (c. 8.90 × 8.80 m) were removed , revealing the entrance opening in the east perimeter wall (facing towards Artimino), partially blocked in a second phase of use, and related floor surface. Important finds came out of the collapsed material (fragments of jars, impasto jars, well-levigated pottery, black glaze, a fragment of a basin in light-sandy impasto, and a few fragments of bucchero), with the exception of a Certosa type fibula and a bronze punch, all from the earliest phases of the collapse. From the centre to the southern half of the room several medium sized horizontal slabs began to emerge. Partially aligned, they could be part of a floor or a structure present inside the room.

    In the southern area, at about 3.50 m west of the paved courtyard and probable portico (ζ,), the perimeter of a building (μ) began to appear, delimited by structures built with large chiseled slabs, with an entrance facing east, in which clear signs of cult activity emerged. Although the structures have yet to be completely uncovered, their monumental character is evident.
    The finds attest the presence on the site of a cult site in use from at least the late archaic period until the Hellenistic period.
