Molino San Vincenzo 2016

The excavation of 2016’s season lasted from August 23rd to September 10th 2016: Two trenches of 25 sqm (trench 3) and 30 sqm (trench 4) were examined. While trench 3 had a square-shaped layout, trench 4 was rectangular shaped. In trench 3 a concentration of pebbles mixed with fragmented tiles and ceramic vessels was discovered as the only excavation unit (US200 / S3). The pottery can be dated to the roman imperial period, however, a finding of a plastic shotgun shell demonstrates a modern intervention. In trench 4 a compact layer of gravel (thickness approx. 40 cm) was discovered (US400 / S4). This layer was vacant of anthropogenic finds. Eastwards of US400 / S4 the eventual filling of a trench (US200 / S4, US800 / S4) was excavated, characterized by refilled geological sediments up to a depth of approx. 0.68 m.
