Lo scavo alla pendice nord-orientale del Palatino (campagne 2023-2025): il quartiere produttivo di età tardoantica

The paper presents the results of the last excavation campaigns conducted by the Department of Antiquities on the north-eastern slope of the Palatine Hill between 2023 and 2025. New data, here presented for the first time, show significant productive use of the Palatine slope in late antiquity (5th-7th century AD) attested by stratigraphy and structures such as basins, water-related elements, traces of combustion etc., found under post-antique fillings. The contribution provides an analysis of the stratigraphic sequence and ceramic contexts, supplying useful data for reconstructing the phases of occupation and exploitation of the area, to which chemical laboratory analyses also contribute in an integrated multidisciplinary perspective.
