Recenti indagini su contesti archeologici sommersi di età romana nella laguna nord di Venezia

A team coordinated by C. Beltrame and P. Mozzi is working on the investigation of the dynamics of settlement of the lagoon of Venice in the Roman period through an innovative approach which is going to review past discoveries made by E. Canal. The team, which comprehends specialists in the sciences applied to archaeology and which uses innovative techniques for the underwater investigation and documentation, has re-interpreted the so-called Roman submerged Tower of the Canale San Felice and is excavating underwater the so-called Roman Villa of Lio Piccolo. In this last site a tank for oysters has been found while the first site has been interpreted as a well-cistern.
