On May 6th began the last excavation season at the tumulus burial of Kamenica, the aim of which was to definitely clarify the architecture and the use of the tumulus. Few days before the official starting of the project it was necessary to drain the NE and the W portions of the tumulus with an electric pump, fortunately without any damage to the structures. During this last period there have been repeatedly heavy rains that caused the loss in total of one week of digging.
The work took place in Sector 1.1 and Sector 3. The task of these last weeks, after a general cleaning, has been to proceed in the excavation of the filling with rocks pertaining to the second phase of the cemetery in Sector 1.1, and of the filling with soil pertaining to the first phase in Sector 3, where the excavation of the filling of rocks has been completed last year.
25 graves have been found, some of them very interesting: one had two skeletons, an adult with a hand on the head of a child; another grave had the skeletons of a man and of woman disposed much closed to each other but in opposite directions.
In Sector 1.1 the filling with rocks is close to the end, and are coming to light graves delimited by massive circular structure that are superimposed with each-other.
The area circumscribed by these arches is dedicated to one grave and this is a pattern quite unknown from the other tumuli excavated so far in the region.
