Summary (English)

  • This was the 8th excavation campaign on the site of Monte Duello. The work involved various limestone surface outcrops of a few square metres, all situated at the same level, and a number of small trenches uphill and downhill from the latter.

    Before the excavations began, the area was cleaned, with the removal of surface soil and detritus present on the slope and in correspondence with the limestone outcrops. The various rock layers were identified and rock samples taken.

    Rock samples were also taken during the excavations, representative of the various outcrops that had been quarried. A preliminary analysis of the paleontological remains showed that almost all the finds were molluscs (gastropods and bivalves) and Foraminifers (_Nummulites_ brongniarti). The remains of scaphopoda, anthozoa, and echinoidea were also found.
