The 2010 excavations produced notable results both for the quantity of data and for their importance. With the removal of the cement piling put in after the excavations in the 1970s to separate the archaeological area from the private vineyards, the two zones that had previously been partially excavated were united. An open area excavation was undertaken which brought to light all of the rooms along the western side of the Roman mansio-villa rustica. Together with the rectangular room A 177, with opus signinum floor and plastered wall, a further two rooms, side by side (A 21, 22) were exposed. Also rectangular in plan they had a residential function. Immediately south of these rooms was a very large rectangular room (A 188), with plastered walls, opus signinum paving and a single-sloped roof, completely opening onto a courtyard. It is probable that this functioned as a vast warehouse.

The area of the large courtyard (A 8), with a pillared portico, was cleaned in order to complete what was partially exposed in 2004 in the south zone, where a floor make up, comprising imbrices and tegulae placed on edge, emerged. The edges of this floor were defined. Along the eastern side two small adjoining rooms were uncovered, one containing a hearth. Other structural evidence was partially uncovered on the northern side of the courtyard, where there was a wall apparently on the same alignment as the north wall of room A 177.

A third intervention looked at the area west of the western perimeter of the rural complex, where a new trench was dug in order to document the north-south road identified in 2009 (a via glareata along which a small inhumation burial was found). An accurate geological analysis of the stratigraphy, with specific sampling, was undertaken: a layer of very pure silty-sand probably represents an alluvial deposit and could provide, if traceable across the entire area, a useful reference in terms of relative chronology with which to compare subsequent interventions levelling and raising the ground surface in relation to the road’s use, as well as the construction interventions in both the pre-Roman and Roman phases. Lastly, the excavations were extended to the west and south of the trial trench opened in 2009 abutting the Roman perimeter wall, in order to check the nature of the pre-Roman remains.

The data acquired opens new prospects for the investigations in that not only do they confirm pre-Roman occupation, but document a permanent occupation with the presence of structures found in collapse. The continuation of this evidence to the south, in exactly the same area where a number of walls relating to structures of Roman date (in particular the tanks-cisterns) are present on the south-western side of the complex, clearly shows the high potential of this area which seems to be the site of both residential rooms and storage rooms.
