Along the stretch of the ancient Naples-Cumae road a new excavation revealed a funerary monument behind a large exedra. Square in plan, it had a vaulted roof and was entirely constructed in _opus vittatum_. Inside, the aedicule on the wall opposite the entrance still preserved substantial traces of the glass paste decoration lining the basin at the back. The building technique and stratigraphic data attribute the structure to the second half of the 1st century A.D. Outside of the tomb was a necropolis area with inhumations, “a cappuccina” tombs and infant burials inside African amphorae, datable to between the 2nd to 4th century A.D. The question of an enclosure situated to the east of this monument is still not altogether clear, continuation of the investigations will provide clarification. To be noted, the start of conservation work on the funerary monuments, whose pictorial decoration was in a far better state of preservation than initially foreseen.

In the suburbs north of Pozzuoli new data came from the continuing work for the creation of the park of the “necropoli Puteolane”. In the necropolis along the _via Puteolis-Neapolim_ the excavation and conservation of the funerary monuments continued. The archaeological investigation concentrated on five monuments which occupied the central zone of the long row of buildings flanking the down-hill side of the road. The building history of each has been reconstructed together with, as far as possible despite robbing, the pictorial, stucco and mosaic decoration. In some case elements of the furnishings were recovered such as a small white marble sundial recovered as a sporadic find inside one of the monuments.
