The excavation work continues with the removal of a debris level. This level sealed the late-ancient villa's structures. Thanks to our meticulous exhumation, we have found and documented the presence of debris from the collapse of a great room, partially found and documented during the previous campaign (2011). The most interesting part of this layer of rubble is that some of them correspond to the perimeter walls, made with bricks plastered with a thick layer of lime and sand (at some points this layer is more than 10cm, or 4in, thick), which collapsed almost orderly on the deposits already accumulated on the floor. This fact will let us guess at least the height of the room; a really important thing for this type of construction generally plundered to the ground.

At the moment, one of the areas in which intervention was raised this year has been totally excavated. This is the east area of the room found in the previous season paved with mosaic. In this case, an area is delimited by several wall structures which seem to be related to the high-imperial settlement on which subsequently the villa was built. These structures, as had been observed in previous phases, are amortized over their foundations and new walls were erected, in this case they were made with masonry mortar of lime and sand.

The archaeological excavation continues advancing, confirming the presence of new living zones in the far south of the villa. At the moment we can’t establish definitive scheme yet, but we can discern the existence of at least three new rooms located in the west of the previous campaign, all of them with heating.
