Summary (English)

  • The sector explored this season was a northwards extension to the area excavated in the previous year, still in correspondence with the large rectangular structure with more than one storey, the forum floor to the west and the via Medusa to the east.

    Here, below the colluvial soil, several patches of a floor made of roughly positioned small terracotta blocks were exposed, on the same level as the via della Medusa.

    A number of walls were present, built of small irregular stone chips bonded with mortar, delimiting rectangular rooms that were perhaps open onto the street. They had been heavily robbed down to foundation level.

    On the side facing the forum, excavation continued with the aim of reaching the earliest levels. On the one side, the fill of the structure continued to produce residual materials still dating to the Republican period (fragments of architectural terracotta, anatomical votives, statuettes, and black gloss pottery, all of which confirmed the sacred nature of the site). On the other side, the find of a number of coins and fragments of ARS provided the dating for the phases of post-classical alterations to the entire structure.
