This season, Padova University continued its excavations in the temple area occupied by the former naval base at Nora. In trench 1, the excavation of the underground tombs 8 and 9 was completed. A new trench (c. 24 × 2.3 m) was opened to the west of and connected to trench 1, on an east-west alignment.

Tomb 8 was formed by a vertical access shaft from which three lateral benches were reached and in whose west wall an underground chamber opened. A series of inhumations were present, both in the funerary chamber and in the access shaft, which range in date from the Punic period until late antiquity. The plan of tomb 9 was simpler, a large sub-rectangular pit, but it also contained a series of Punic burials. The tomb was reopened in the Roman imperial period when the stone slabs constituting the western part of the covering were removed and the tomb used as a midden. The long trench opened to the west of trench 1, where excavations will continue in the future), aimed to further define the extension of the necropolis and the morphology of this sector of the Nora peninsula, as well as intercepting the trench dug by G. Patroni at the beginning of last century.
