In 2007 the tenth excavation campaign was undertaken at Acquarica di Lecce, locality of Pozzo Seccato, the site of an important Messapian fortified settlement. Excavations mainly concentrated on the northern side of the great fortification constituted by a dry-stone wall (3.50 m wide) and an external facing of large squared limestone blocks. The collapse of this structure, partially uncovered in the previous campaign, was excavated. In this area a number of courses of the outer facing were preserved. Their collapse may have been caused by an earthquake (given the position of the blocks which were still adjoining as they were when standing). These blocks were overlain by part of the dry-stone wall.

At the same time the dismantling of the modern dry-stone wall which covered the ancient structure for a length of circa 40 m continued. In the north-western corner four new blocks from the external facing were uncovered, preserved here in two courses, together with part of the collapse to the exterior of the structure. The material recovered from the dismantling of the modern dry-stone wall was used for the reconstruction of the dry-stone wall, begun in previous years, in this corner of the fortification.
