This season’s excavations concentrated on the northern sector of the site that was partially excavated during earlier campaigns, with the aim of continuing the investigation of the structural and decorative characteristics of the emerging Roman building.

The investigation concentrated on the northern residential nucleus of the structure, which was fully excavated, cleaned, and documented with an ortho-photographic mosaic. Consolidation of the surviving patches of mosaic was completed. More specifically aimed interventions were undertaken in order to integrate the interpretations of preceding excavations.

The removal of the layers of rubble, abandonment, and fill from the robber trenches revealed the plan of the Roman building. With regard to the floor levels, the mortar make-up for the mosaics in rooms 11 and 13 were preserved almost intact, as was the make-up of orange-red clay in room 14. A number of patches of mosaic were preserved in rooms 2, 3, 8, and 9. The monochrome white mosaics of sloping and straight contrasting stripes in rooms 6 and 10, and the black mosaic with white stripe and central panel with “chicken’s foot” motif in room 4 were almost intact. The make-ups for the opus sectile floors in rooms 1 and 5 were also well-preserved.
