Summary (English)

  • Excavations were undertaken inside the church and to the east of the building, in the apse area.

    Internally, two trenches on a north-south alignment were opened. One revealed an infant burial in an earth grave (tomb 26); the other contained no archaeological material.

    To the east of the church a further four earth graves (tombs 27-30) were uncovered. Lying side by side, they were oriented east-west, the head to the east, with the exception of tomb 28 (an infant) with the head to the west. Tomb 29 was heavily disturbed by a modern grave, in fact, only the lower leg bones were recovered. All of the graves had been dug into the alluvial gravel.

    The anthropological remains are being studied by a team from the Department of Medical and Morphological Research – Human Anatomy section at Udine University, lead by Dr. Luciana Travan.

    At the southern edge of the excavation, a cut in the alluvial terrain continued as far as the eastern edge of the area. It ran parallel with the church’s south side and had already been partially uncovered in previous campaigns. This has been interpreted as the negative trace of the wall that surrounded this side of the church site.
