Excavation season 2024 has begun! This year we’re digging across Area 1 (macellum), Area 2 (domus), and Area 5 (forum tabernae). Day 2 we’ve got walls, floors, & a road among other features - stay tuned for more! Led by @the_bsr Institute of Classical Studies (ICS) Harvard Classics UofTClassics

Monday morning at Falerii Novi Project! 🏺🏛️ lots of #archaeology going on, with remnant floors and worked marble fragments being recorded in the forum taberna.

Week 3 wrap-up! Several new features revealed in the macellum, helping us piece together earlier phases. Trenches were extended in the forum taberna and domus to explore new spatial relationships.

And with that, the 2024 season at Falerii Novi is done! 👏🎉 It’s been an incredible month with some of our best material yet – all thanks to the hard work of our students, supervisors, specialists and directors! Much more soon on some fantastic new finds 🏛️
