The fourth excavation campaign took place in May-June 2010. Trench VII was reopened and enlarged to cover an area of 60 m2.

The rectilinear walls of the ditch, partially covered with natural concretions, were exposed. Of particular interest was the discovery of a collapse from a wall built of limestone and calcarinite blocks along the inner wall of the ditch. In the lower layers of the fill at a depth of about 2 m a concentration of pottery emerged. Some had impressed decoration and the fragments were from at least three vessels. Also present were faunal remains, lithic industry (including an intact blade of Gargano flint) and small patches of charcoal.

During the course of the excavation the area with the two Bronze Age huts was reopened with the aim of documenting the rows of post holes and their depths. These huts were rectangular in plan with an apse and a reconstruction of the timber structures and covering has been proposed on the basis of the morphology and dimensions of the post holes and, above all, the plaster remains.

The material found during the preceding campaigns (2007-2009) was displayed in an exhibition
“Trasanello: quattro passi nella Murgia preistorica” at the Ridola National Archaeological Museum at Matera. The aim of the exhibition was to present the archaeological materials through their history “from the excavation to the laboratory”. Therefore, the information panels illustrated the study phases of the finds from conservation to documentation, with particular attention given to laboratory analyses. Furthermore, alongside the archaeological materials in the display cases samples of raw materials, pottery thin-sections and experimental reconstructions were also shown.
