Summary (English)

  • This was the seventh campaign in the Valle della Chiesa di Roncà. The research took place along the main branch of the Valle della Chiesa, in particular the stretch crossing the locality of Cà Tessari. A surface survey was carried out along the torrent, but at Cà Tessari it was possible to continue the research by excavating. This was the fifth season of excavations here.
    The excavated layers produced numerous small bivalves and gastropods. Some of these remains seemed to belong to rather rare species. Unfortunately, the nature of the brecciola made the conservation of the fossils and rock samples particularly difficult, as they tend to crumble despite treatment with Paraloid. At the end of the excavation, the trench was back-filled and the detritus spread according to the original morphology.
