This was the fifth excavation campaign and saw the continuation of work in some areas and the opening of new sondages. Exploration continued around the cella of the west temple (trench A7) where the stratigraphy was documented down to the last course of the cella foundation wall. Limited interventions also continued in trenches F20E and C22E. New excavations took place in the area of the church of S. Ombono, where the stratigraphy that had emerged in previous excavations was cleaned and recorded (B25), and a sondage opened at the centre of the apse (B26). Three other sondages were opened (E28, E29, E31) in the area south of the podium, and sondage D30, was opened to its east. In these areas, only surface cleaning and the recording of the structures and layers that emerged was necessary.

Trench D30 was in an area investigated by the old excavations in sectors V, VII, and IX, but only in relation to the upper layers of the stratigraphy. Of these, further excavation will only be necessary in trench E 29 and perhaps D 30. The excavation of the stratigraphy in trench E27 was completed. Once the investigations in sectors A7, E27, E28, and E31 were completed, the trenches were back-filled.

The excavation of trench A7, mainly dug below the level of the water table, required a substantial technical and organisational effort, but led to the recovery of a stratigraphic sequence ranging from the 3rd century B.C. to the first phase of the podium. Inside the church, the removal of the material from the old excavations revealed stratigraphy and structures relating to the earlier church of S. Ombono. In trench E27, a sequence relating to a dump containing materials dating to the 12th-13th centuries was investigated.
