Cannicci is still flooded, so we had to merge the two teams again. With Michelle, we decided that it might be helpful to send the Cannicci’s team to open a new space in the westernmost part of the Castle, right opposite Area 1000, where the “little palace” or “tower” is located. Benedetta Baleani took the leadership of the Cannicci’s team and started to clear the area.
The Castellaraccio’s group continued to work in the northern room of Area 1000 since the collapse had been significantly reduced. On the SE corner of the room, the surface of a new wall (context 128), oriented NS, started to appear under the collapse. The wall was obliterated and possibly in connection to a previous phase of the area, but it is too early to understand its relationship with the other structures. This new structure was directly covered by a section of the tile collapse on its northern side. Again, the rain forced us to stay at our headquarters in Monteverdi due to heavy rain, which started after the lunch break. Thanks to new tarps we could cover Area 2000, allowing it to dry for the following days.
