Alison Telfer and the team at Sant' Omobono have reached four metres and still no sign of the Archaic temple….

This week we excavated a couple of substantial layers above the temple and at the same time improved our water pump system. The layers had a high sand content and consequently installing drainage channels to direct the water to the pumps has been somewhat of a challenge, as the sides of channels collapse mixing the water and soil, which is then harder to pump out!
