Between 2010 and 2014 the project has investigated sections of a huge industrial quarter situated along the eastern rim of the city of Selinus, previously discovered by geophysical prospection.

In the course of the excavations, the city wall with a water drain, the street next to the wall, the street S16-E and a large open space at the crossroad of these as well as parts of the north adjoining insula were uncovered. The insula is constructed on four terraces with a maximum surface of more than 1200 m². Seven kilns of rectangular and circular shape in particular verify the production of very different ceramic goods, from roof tiles to fine wares. The largest of the kilns has a diameter of 5,30 m.

On the lower terrace, in the south-eastern part of the insula, next to four of these kilns, a roofed room featuring a roof-tile pavement was uncovered. Evidence of a small domestic sanctuary and typical workshop equipment were found in this room. Adjacent, on the second terrace, there is a large open space / courtyard.

The third terrace is again covered by a working area and kilns, whereas the upper fourth terrace consists of a storage (?) building. The structures can be identified as one large potter’s workshop complex dating to the middle of the sixth century BC, renewed during the fifth century and destroyed by the Carthaginians in 409 BC.
