New research at the archaeological site in the well-known village of Cavallino-Treporti.
This is the fourth excavation campaign at Lio Piccolo, conducted by the Humanities Department of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. In July, investigations resumed on the submerged site of the ancient lagoon village. The excavation, directed by Professor Carlo Beltrame, assisted by Elisa Costa, began in and was funded in 2022. The excavation is funded as part of the Pnrr Changes Historical Landscapes, Traditions and Cultural Identities (Spoke 1) project. This year’s activities are part of a broader research project that aims to reconstruct the paleo-environment of the northern lagoon and the settlement dynamics, exploitation of resources and building techniques in the Roman age, especially with regard to the aspect of port and navigation towards Altino.
