The 14th campaign at Urvinum Hortense continued excavation and survey. The consolidation and restoration of floor surfaces and walls was also undertaken. At the same time, a geophysical survey began an investigation of the entire urban complex.

In Trench A (east side of the town) survey of the visible structures continued after vegetation was cleaned back from the surfaces. This was undertaken, as in 2010, with the aim of checking the accuracy of the excavation plans made following the work carried out by Giovanni Bizzozzero around the large temple on the summit, between 1932 and 1938. Therefore, the 2011 campaign again concentrated on the large temple podium situated on the summit and on the later, adjacent complex of the so-called “basilichetta”, standing at a right angle to the main road through the town. The aim was to make a correct (although necessarily partial) check of the dimensions and new graphic documentation of both buildings.

Excavation only took place in Trench B (west side of the town), again mainly concentrating on the large atrium of the terraced domus extending down the steep slope overlooking the Sambro valley. The opus signinum floor was almost completely exposed, work continuing on the removal of the extensive accumulations of collapsed roofing and masonry, which revealed large sections of the perimeter walls. Thus, the complete plan of the room was reconstructed. The sandstone column bases and residual tile and stucco column drums, evenly distributed around the impluvium, were exposed. The stone components of the latter had been robbed. The wellhead was at some time partially narrowed by the insertion of a catillus from a mill, in order to make drawing water easier and safer. A corner slab of the impluvium cut the well.

Most of the exposed floor surfaces, column bases and preserved column drums in the atrium were consolidated and restored.
