Among the works being undertaken include cleaning the mosaic pavements discovered in the current campaign. This task takes place slowly and carefully when the pavement is still a bit wet. The method is to remove the soil and calcium carbonate crust manually with spatulas, and then finish using a scalpel blade to clean the mosaic completely.
