    Summary (English)

    • Investigations in the hill area “del Serpente” undertaken on the terrain below the paved area only produced results in the north-western part. Here a well was discovered, it contained no finds. To the south where the paved area was destroyed, a smooth-sided ditch with two levels was discovered filled with large stones, tiles and pottery fragments. This ditch had caused the destruction of the paved surface. It ran from north-west to south-east and attests a settlement area, together with several partly aligned supports for posts, discovered to the south, east and north of the paved area. In the northern zone of this area there was a cobble surface with a ditch running north, and a rectangular structure with stone walls, tiles and pottery fragments. Below this irregular paving was a shallow tank sealed by grayish-blue clay.
