Excavation took place in a one sector 42 m2 (quadrants AR-AZ/16-22) where the Neolithic ground level was removed in two 5cm spits. All the excavated layers were documented using traditional and digital (photopiano 3D) methods. The Neolithic soil was not removed down to the underlying sterile soil. In fact, in quadrants AS-AT/16 a structure of burnt cobbles appeared while in the quadrants further west AR-AT/20-22 there was an abundant scatter of ceramic, lithic and faunal materials, and small stones suggesting the presence of underlying sunken structures, as seen in other sectors and in the 1998-99 campaigns. Lithics, ceramics and bone were found within US 4, which were removed and documented by quadrant and spit and then entered into an Arcgis database. The bone material was badly compromised; herbivore teeth were present.

The pottery consisted of fragments of medium-coarse impasto a few centimetres in size and coloured brown-reddish brown. The forms present included bowls, cups, and lug-handled containers. Among the diagnostic material was a fragment of a square-mouthed beaker with grafitto decoration, which indicates that there was occupation on the site before the foundation of the village (early 5th millennium) that can be attributed to the culture of the Square-mouthed Vases 1st style. A shell (cardium) pierced through the umbo was found in one of the adjacent quadrants. This is the first object for personal adornment of this type found on the site and could also be attributed to the SMV culture. The lithic materials made with local flint and flint from Lessinia mainly consisted of waste from working, generic flakes and fragmented blades.
