Cervia rediscovered
The 6th annual exhibition on the archaeological investigations carried out by the University of Bologna in the Cervia area during the 2024 campaign is back.
In 2024, between June and July, investigations were carried out in the area of the old town of Cervia, continuing the exploration of the built-up area and the excavation of the urban fortress. In August and early September, the site of Prato della Rosa, also located within the Cervia Saltworks, was instead investigated. The site has often been identified with Ficocle.
The archaeological excavations at Prato della Rosa, started in 2023, brought to light a hitherto unknown church and other structures that are still being studied. Finally, in October, research continued with the surface reconnaissance, exploring the area between the salt pans and the present-day town, in order to map the unknown archaeological sites in the area and understand the evolution of the rural settlement during past eras.
The exhibition illustrates the steps and study activities accompanied by photos and drawings related to this year's excavation.
