Summary (English)
The 2007 excavations on the Colle Mazéit di Verzegnis continued the work in Area VII (see above). In particular work concentrated on the interior of the rectangular structure and the extension to the exterior of the south-western corner of the building and a trench between the south-eastern corner and the curtain wall connecting the room to Area II. Two trenches were excavated during work to position pillars supporting the roofing being put up over the remains.
Excavations continued in Area VII on the structure positioned across the curtain wall. The chronology and the construction techniques of the rectangular room were examined: it seems to have been built in the Augustan period, with an enlargement and reorganization of the whole of the village. At the same time Aera II, the square room abutting the southeast corner of the wall, was built, as well as Area VI, a paved room of phase IV, and the whole of the enclosure wall was consolidated. The room which straddles the enclosure wall was also protected by an external wall, which surrounds the village on the eastern side. The internal wall of the room appears to have been a prolongation of the pre-roman wall, probably linked to earlier structures that emerged outside wthe western edge of the building, and from which fragments of Bronze Age pottery were recovered, and much interesting material, including a Fleischgabel, emerged during the removal of the fill from the foundation trench.
