The 2012 campaign, like the 2010 season, came to an enforced halt. The intention had been to investigate the western and northern sectors of the summit area of Monte Tezio, then to extend in other directions in order to improve the plans of the perimeter enclosure (embankment and ditch) and adjacent areas, both up and down hill. The intention had also been to check the excavation results from previous campaigns, at least in some sectors. None of this was possible due to the lack of a vehicle for reaching the site.

Therefore, some survey work took place, mainly in order to check the condition of the earlier excavations and, more generally, the surface of the site. In practice this turned into a finds season, which served, through study and documentation of the excavated materials from previous years, to confirm the occupation phases on the hilltop, even though seasonal, of large groups of individuals, for several generations, defining a chronological horizon that beginning in the late Bronze Age appears to extend into the early Iron Age.
