Summary (English)

  • The second excavation season on the site of S. Ombono, run by the Rome Superintendency, the University of Michigan and the University of Calabria, took place between May-July 2011. The fieldwork aimed to resolve a number of problems relating to stratigraphy and chronology, concentrating on the two Republican temples and the area in front of them.

    The southern sector of the cella in the west temple (A7) was investigated together with a deposit of limited extension, preserved to the exterior, which had been disturbed by earlier excavations (A8 and A12). Inside the cella, levels pre-dating the 3rd century B.C. restructuring were identified.

    In the area between the two stylobates (still visible), the stratigraphy below two large travertine blocks was excavated. Although very limited in extension, it was of significance for the phases obliterating the Republican floor (F14). Cleaning was undertaken in the area in front of the west temple in order to show up the stratigraphic relationships (F9, E13).

    In the area of the eastern temple, work continued with the re-examination and, in part, the excavation of the old sector VIII, here denominated D19. A large trench was also opened in correspondence with an area occupied by an imperial taberna (D11).

    The entire area is periodically cleaned and cleared of weeds. General maintenance work is also carried out. Part of the stone material has been organized and a number of unsafe features stabilized.
