Summary (English)
This second excavation campaign concentrated on the area of the late antique cemetery (second half of the 5th – early 6th century A.D.) that constitutes the most significant discovery in the entire sector of the excavations situated along the north walls of Albintimilium.
In particular, sarcophagus no. 7 (US 6030) was opened. Made of Finale stone, it had a roof-shaped lid with lateral acroteria. The deposit inside presented various phases with the deposition of at least 13 individuals, of which only one was still articulated.
The excavations were extended to the west of the sector with the sarcophagi (area 5000). This intervention revealed a series of structures underneath a sequence of layers relating to the abandonment phases of the area (Phase III). Some of the structures were faced with opus signinum, including a tomb built of vertically-placed flanged tiles with a stone covering and a second, masonry-built tomb probably with a monolithic stone covering also faced with a thin layer of opus signinum.
