The 2009 campaign again looked at the western sector of the summit area of Monte Tezio, extending the excavation area. Along the south-western edge of the trench a long stretch of a sort of external facing was exposed. This had been constructed by fixing large limestone slabs edgeways into the ground and served to contain the thick wall behind it. This wall was a dry-stone structure with a raised embankment. The artificiality of the structure was clearly shown by the arrangement in sequence of its various stone elements and by its outline which followed the artificial line of the summit’s edge, progressively re-entrant and convex.

The 2009 campaign confirmed the prolonged occupation of the summit, probably covering several generations. The uniformity of the finds, almost exclusively pottery with the occasional bronze, (all fragmentary apart from large decorated pins) and iron, suggested a chronological horizon in the latter part of the final Bronze Age. However, on the basis of results obtained to date (although the study is on-going) the chronological horizon could be the early Iron Age.
