This campaign continued the excavations inside the monastic complex and, at the same time a survey was undertaken on the summit of the Montieri hill. The survey identified another important part of the activities linked to the exploitation of mineral deposits, the areas used for making the charcoal that was indispensible for fuelling the furnaces.

The excavation results made it possible to lengthen the settlement’s chronology known from documents and make an accurate description of the activities undertaken within it. In fact, it was possible to subdivide the history of the site into four periods. The first, still not fixed, certainly predates the 11th century, in which the first occupation of the plateau was attested by a high-status female burial. At the moment, this cannot be linked with any other evidence, but the veneration of the individual clearly continued until the successive period, given that the church dating to the first phase of the canonica was built so that the stone coffin was situated at its centre.
