This season’s excavations were concentrated in the south-western sector of the settlement, in SAS VI, where two distinct campaigns in 1994 and 1994 had uncovered several rooms belonging to late medieval buildings situated at the sides of the road crossing the settlement from north to south. Numerous sunken grain silos opened along the road, some of which still preserved the original stone covers in situ. The remains of a medieval quadrangular tower were uncovered in the same area, pre-dating the settlement, and a quadrangular well of proto-Hellenistic date, of which the wellhead of worked stone blocks was more or less intact.

During the same campaigns, the proto-historic occupation levels were reached in this sector and several surviving patches of a large Final Bronze 2 structure, denominated hut-storeroom for the presence inside it of numerous terracotta cordoned dolia. Recent gas-chromatography analysis showed that these large containers were used to store olive oil.

This area was chosen for excavation because Melendugno town council intends to carry out a series of intervention to protect, restore, and enhance the site.
The planned interventions include restoration of the floor and road surfaces of the late medieval settlement at their original levels in order to prevent further erosion and undermining below the wall foundations, which would cause their collapse.
Therefore, the investigation and removal of the proto-historic occupation levels still in situ on top of the limestone bedrock was considered an urgent requirement.

The excavations exposed several post-holes, both circular and quadrangular, which added to the plan of the hut-storeroom. A large amount of pottery was recovered belonging to the occupation phase of this structure. A particular concentration was found inside a rectangular pit cut into the floor surface.
