So very grateful to our friends at @MuseodiCabras and Fondazione Monte Prama for hosting our team for a Sunset with the Giants. Unforgettable evening.

One of the great joys of our work is sharing the results with visitors to Tharros.

@AM_Christensen Yes, they’re just protectors for the photogrammetry targets that are underneath.

Now into the second week of our 2024 excavation season at Tharros, with trenches in the monumental centre of the city, and up on the hill.

More updates soon…

So delighted - and flattered - to see our Porta Stabia book reach the shortlist for the EAA Book Prize!

We don’t often find chunks of a mosaic in the fills to level a floor, but when we do…

#mosaic

[Tharros Archaeological Research Project @UCTharros]

@SmileSimplify @UCPompeii Yes, that’s right. The fills that made up the spaces (the rooms and their floors, for example) are themselves made up of various soils and (often recycled) building debris.

Closing out one of our excavations in the temple area at Tharros.

[Tharros Archaeological Research Project @UCTharros]

@SmileSimplify @UCPompeii Those are the various volumetric contexts (the layers) that went in to make those spaces; so fills and surfaces etc.
