The 2010 campaign, undertaken between 24th May and 30th July, saw the participation of both Italian and foreign students. The same stratigraphic sequence was uncovered as already seen in previous years. This comprised a succession of levels of fluvial-lacustral origin (gravels, sands and clays) interspersed with sediments of volcanic origin (tufa) some in primary deposition, containing abundant paleontological and prehistoric material.

The site was planned and the stratigraphy of the materials documented using a total-station GEO-TOP GTS 605. A large amount of lithic material was collected, characterised by the presence of numerous bifacial artefacts in flint and limestone, associated with flakes and nucleuses, implements – mainly scrappers and denticulated artefacts – and hammers.

An abundance of fauna was represented by the teeth and diaphises of large herbivores including cervids, rhinoceros, elephants, oxen and horses. Of particular interest was the find of numerous remains of deer antlers, including base segments with rosette, shaft fragments and numerous dagger fragments. The archeo-zoological study identified butchery marks made with lithic implements.

Samples were taken from various layers for sedimentological, palinological and radiometric analyses. For the radiometric dating five sediment samples were taken in the immediate vicinity of dental remains which had been previously selected using specific instrumentation for the measurement of radiation decay.

Great care was taken in the conservation of the bone finds as the remains were in various states of preservation caused by post-depositional phenomena.

The excavation data has been used to create an alphanumerical database which can be cross-checked with the database containing all the codes relating to the RA record sheets recognised by the Minstero per i Beni Culturali computerised system. All plans were interfaced with the record sheet database using Arcview, which manages the collected data in a geo-referenced system capable of undertaking spatial distribution and statistical analyses.
