The second day of excavation. The entire team went up to the castle in the morning, focusing their energy on digging the remains of the collapse from the northern room of Area 1000. Unfortunately, Area 2000 is still too wet to properly work with due to constant evening showers (more are forecast for tonight). Michelle’s student went down to Paganico after the morning break to study the curtain walls of the medieval settlement. We kept working at the castle, removing most of the upper level of collapse from the room. After lunch, we received the visit of Prof. Camporeale and his team from the University of Siena, with whom we discussed the construction phases of Area 1000.
