Summer 2014 excavation areas

Hi all,

The preparation of excavation area that we will be working in this summer has started, and it’s looking really good. A new large trench is being opened in the Navalia, and the facade of the Palazzo Imperiale is being cleared. We will have several excavation areas around the Palazzo: one approaching the facade from the seafront of the Cludian basin, one if the corridor and one continuing from it towards the garden, as well as one in Building 3. Navalia will be worked in as well, with a trench going all the way across and aiming to reach the Trajanic floor of the structure. I’ll put a plan of excavation areas when it is ready.

For now some photos from the site:

And a new room on the seafront side of the Palazzo. Lovely opus spicatum preparation!
