The first campaign of excavation and recording took place in May-July 2010 as part of the pluri-annual agreement between the Superintendency of Rome , the University of Calabria and the University of Michigan, for the investigation and recovery of the archaeological area of S. Omobone.

Following a preliminary phase of cleaning, recording and drawing of the previously excavated stratigraphy, excavations were undertaken in the western sector of the area. In particular, six trenches were opened in correspondence with the lacunae present in the paving of tufa slabs dating to the Republican period. The aim was to check the stratigraphic sequence and gain an understanding of the entity of the previous excavations. Therefore, three trenches (A1, A2, A5) were opened in the area in front of the cella of the west temple, one along the northern stylobate (A3) and two (F4, F6) in the area between the stylobates.

The first four trenches were in places that had been investigated by A.M. Colini and subsequent researchers, however they provided the opportunity for an analytical documentation of the stratigraphy. Moreover, in trenches A1 and A2 some sections of the stratigraphy were examined that had not been touched by previous interventions. In the same trenches core samples were taken at greater depth. All three trenches were back-filled for conservation. In trench A3 work was interrupted at a shallow depth when the continuation of the Republican tufa paving was found in situ.

The remaining trenches, of which F6 remains to be finished, uncovered pits and structural elements (wells) datable to post-antique phases. The excavations were flanked by conservation work and the burying of some features for conservation.
