Its objective is to complement the well-known schematic plan of the archaic and classical Greek city with a multilayered model that also considers the settlement’s development and transformations through time. Part of the multidisciplinary approach is a series of stratigraphic excavation trenches in the more remote parts of the city to investigate the blatant traces of well-known historical events as well as the gentle evolution of the communities and their habitat. Potential differences in the functional and social environment are also on the agenda. After the first promising results obtained in 2020 on the Manuzza-plateau, a larger trench was opened nearby to better understand the varied forms of use of the area through time. This preliminary report provides an overview of the main phases of occupation observed in trench M 2021/22 between the earliest evidence of human activity in the early Bronze Age and the relocation elsewhere of the Hellenistic population in the mid-3rd century BCE.
