    • Shortly after the creation of the Selva del Lamone Nature Reserve, following surveys and on the indication of the Farnese Civic Museum and the SAEM, it was decided to undertake a first intervention regarding the numerous illegal excavations present within ... Read More
    • A large scale illegal excavation, undertaken a few days prior to the start of the work programmed in Area 2000, a short distance away from the room paved in tufa blocks, rendered it necessary to carry out the time-consuming recovery of numerous pottery fra... Read More
    • In Area 0 the large quadrangular room (3), already interpreted as a textile workshop, was again investigated. Below the floor level was a thick layer of levelling filling the natural unevenness of the terrain. The discovery within this layer of a number of... Read More
    • Excavations continued in areas investigated in previous years. In Area 0 an extensive investigation was made of the large area situated south-west of the previously excavated rooms. The aim was to define the internal layout of the rooms in what had begun ... Read More
    • In Area 0 exploration continued of previously identified structures which had suggested the preservation of features of considerable interest. The north-east and south-east perimeter walls of the large room 8 were better defined. A very substantial collaps... Read More
    • The excavation in Area 0 continued with the investigation of several surface layers, situated directly below the humus and of the extensive collapse of stones which characterise all of the south-western part of the vast insula. In room 7 the removal of the... Read More
    • Inside the residential block (Area 0), research continued in two main areas: in the various rooms and in small trenches opened in order to define the limits and extension of the block itself. In room 7, identified as a kitchen, most of the collapsed layers... Read More
    • Once the limits and general structure of the housing block (Area 0) were clarified, work concentrated on the excavation of three rooms, one of which not examined thus far.

      In room 7 the cleaning of the floor, which was not completely uniform, led to the

      ... Read More
    • Within the residential quarter (Area 0) excavation of the vast central room (8) was completed. As in the part excavated in the previous year, below very substantial layers of collapse from the walls and the roof, was an occupation layer characterised by th... Read More
    • In Area 4000 (east gate) excavation of the baulks left inside the paved area of the gate was completed. This exposed a sort of housing in the paving running along the length of the north side of this space, probably relating to a stone or wooden fitting, s... Read More
    • In the area of the eastern gate (Area 4000) it was decided to shift attention to the zone downhill, where stretches of wall were visible between the gate and the site’s southern fortifications. A part of the structures can be interpreted as substructures c... Read More
    • It was decided to enlarge the excavation all around the previously dug cistern situated in the central area (Area 7000). In fact, the results from the previous year’s trench had revealed a deep layer formed by collapsed materials suggesting the existence o... Read More
    • Nell’area centrale dell’insediamento (Area 7000) si è continuato nel progressivo allargamento dell’area di scavo: i saggi degli anni precedenti avevano rivelato infatti l’esistenza di strutture di una certa consistenza, articolate su più livelli, intorno a... Read More
    • Nell’area dei magazzini, al centro dell’insediamento (Area 2000) è stato ripreso lo scavo dell’ambiente pavimentato con l’obiettivo di medio termine di portare alla luce tutta il lastricato di tufo. Buona parte della campagna è stata dedicata alla ripulitu... Read More
    • Nell’area dei magazzini (Area 2000), al centro dell’insediamento, l’intervento iniziato l’anno passato è proseguito con il completamento della rimozione del crollo delle murature. È stato così possibile esporre un livello di crollo di tegole piuttosto ben ... Read More
    • Nell’area dei magazzini (Area 2000), al centro dell’insediamento, l’intervento iniziato negli anni passati è proseguito con il completamento della rimozione del crollo delle coperture e dei livelli di distruzione. Il crollo degli elementi di copertura ha m... Read More
    • The gradual enlargement of the excavations continued in the central part of the settlement (Area 7000), where in the past a monumental circular cistern, c. 4 m in diameter, situated in a cobblestone paved courtyard had been found. The excavations aimed to ... Read More
