In the northern sector layers of collapse identified in 2004 were removed. These related to the residential structures of the 4th-5th century A.D., the last phase of the site’s occupation. These structures overlay the 2nd century A.D. occupation. ARS D and amphorae found in the collapse and the layers covered by it attest that the site continued to import pottery. At the site’s northernmost point, traces were found of the west side of the polygonal wall belonging to the cult area, the continuation of which had emerged during the 2005 excavations. The cult area preceded the pottery manufacturing structures. In 2004 new productive structures had already emerged in the southern sector. Work in 2005 uncovered two other kilns of different typologies which can be related to the production of pottery for the cult area. In 2006 the extension of excavation to the south revealed an area of baked clay which suggests the continuation of the craft working area in this direction. In the central area the investigation continued of the southern end of the large room/workshop where work on the potter’s wheel and mould-made and applied decoration was undertaken. The 2006 excavation involved the investigation of the stratigraphy covered by the 1st century A.D. productive structures; several bases of potter’s wheels were dismantled together with the borders of the tanks in which they were housed, on the bottom of these were traces of red earth. In this sector two small kilns were uncovered, built up against the polygonal wall in the south-east corner. They appear to date to the 2nd-1st century B.C. Another important aspect of this room which emerged in 2005 is how the water system was laid out. The system collected rain water and directed it towards two large clay settling tanks situated in the western sector of the workshop. A small channel built up against the east wall and running its entire length must have collected the rain water. Other smaller channels branched off from here; another two were fed from down pipes and all flowed into the main channel which fed the tanks. The abundance of water and the clay-rich terrain provide the reason behind the exploitation of this territory for production purposes. In fact, thanks to being close to the river Tiber, production levels were increased from those of the early Imperial period in order to provide pottery for export.

The site of Scoppieto is situated to the south of Todi on a large level terrace at 418 m a.s.l., overlooking the left bank of the Tiber. Excavations have been underway since 1995. The site was occupied almost continuously from the end of the 4th century B.C. until the mid 5th century A.D. The occupation phases can be synthesised as follows: - end of the 4th(?)-3rd century B.C.: the site was occupied for cult purposes, as attested by the great polygonal wall that may be attributed to an Italic type sanctuary, architectural elements (columns and stone slabs) reused in the structures of imperial date and finds (coins, pottery and metal artefacts). The discovery of a mould for architectural terracottas suggests that production activities already existed in this early phase of the site. - 2nd-1st century B.C.: occupation relating to an agricultural property (wine growing) with production of amphora and dolia. Kilns and wasters from the production of dolia, gliaria, mortars and amphora (Greco-Italian and Dressel 1) can be attributed to this phase. - Augustan-Trajan period: production of Italian sigillata and lamps. This is the best known phase to date, its uniqueness having attracted the most attention and already produced numerous studies. It is attested by permanent structures linked to the productive cycle (potters work stations and wheel bases, settling tanks, kilns, channelling for the drawing and drainage of water) and by an enormous quantity of finds (wasters from the production of Italian sigillata and lamps, terra sigillata plaque and bowl moulds, punches, metal and bone implements for the creation of the moulds, terracotta elements used in firing). - Hadrianic period-mid 3rd century A.D.: residential occupation linked to agricultural activity, attested by finds (imported African pottery and coins) and by restructuring of the structures previously housing the pottery workshops and changes in their use. This phase ended with the collapse of the structures, probably caused by a fire. - second half of the 3rd century A.D.: period of abandonment of the site. - 4th-mid 5th century A.D.: residential occupation linked to agricultural activity. Important evidence for this final phase, represented by pottery (ARS D, African amphora) and coins emerged during the first years of the excavation, but the continuation of the investigation has produced other very interesting elements. These are constituted by finds, walls, mainly dry-stone, and floors (found just below present ground level and better preserved in the northern sector of the excavated area where agricultural activities had caused less disturbance).
