The first mile of the Via Latina Project, a collaboration between the British School at Rome (BSR) and the Norwegian Institute in Rome (DNIR), aims to conduct a comprehensive study of the development from antiquity to modern times of the area of the via Latina located within the Aurelian Walls. The new project aims to build upon this existing body of research, drawing upon archival and bibliographic resources as well as conducting new field research with the aim of documenting the history of this first stretch of the Via Latina. Prominence will be given to the application of non-invasive methods including Ground-Penetrating Radar, topographical recording and 3D terrestrial laser scanning to record the standing monuments.

The first trench was located over what was identified as a macellum structure and an adjacent tuff building to its north (Area I); a second trench explored the residential fabric south of the forum (Area II); and a third investigated a series of tabernae on the northwest corner of the forum (Area V). The feature was clearly serving as a rubbish dump at this time, when a monastic community inhabited the area around the nearby church of S. Maria in Falleri. The faucet was plugged, the marble paving slabs robbed and a new drain was made at the southeast corner connecting to a different subterranean water channel. On the west face of the low wall, a reused tile set in light mortar resembles a building technique seen in later phases

The Interamna Lirenas Project is an ongoing archaeological fieldwork project aimed at expanding and deepening our knowledge and understanding of the development of the Roman town of Interamna Lirenas (and its territory), from its foundation as a Latin colony in 312 BC until its definitive abandonment towards the end of the sixth century AD (Launaro, 2019, 2023; Launaro and Millett, 2023). For this reason, we have launched a new phase of excavations (2023–25) explicitly aimed at bringing to light structures and materials specifically associated with the Republican occupation of the site (late fourth to first century BC). [...]the exploration of the well beneath the ramp of the theatre’s southeastern parodos, conducted by volunteers from the Roma Sotterranea Association, reached a depth of 5 m. Excavation proceeded through thick layers of incoherent material (stone, building material, ceramic fragments, large animal bones), probably resulting from the accumulation of debris and rubble following the abandonment of the theatre.

Since 2019 a central mainstay of the archaeological research at the British School at Rome (BSR) has been the Rome Transformed Project, undertaken in partnership with Newcastle University (UK), the University of Florence and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), funded by the European Research Council (Grant agreement no. 835271). Excavations led by university revealed the long occupation at the site, with recovered material dating from the Bronze Age through until the early Imperial period. Building upon the research undertaken across the Eastern Caelian, the use of non-invasive techniques has been extended to study an adjacent area to the south alongside the Aurelian walls.

The project aims to shed light on this important settlement form in the Navelli Plain, to better understand the chronological development of Furfo and its role as a productive and administrative centre over the longue durée, from the Iron Age through the Roman period until the Middle Ages. [...]a short season of exploratory excavation was undertaken targeting features recorded by the geophysics the previous year. The results indicated an area of archaeological activity although with no clearly identifiable structures. [...]a targeted GPR survey was undertaken, which provided further evidence for frequentation in this central area of the site (Fig. 1). [...]in two areas immediately to the north of the Republican-period fountain, material relating to metal working was recovered.

The doctoral research project ‘Falerii Novi: the fringes of the city’ has as a focus of its study the investigation of the peri-urban area of Falerii Novi through the application of non-invasive techniques. The research forms part of an agreement between the British School at Rome and the University of Pisa which complements the investigations of the ‘Falerii Novi Project’ which is undertaking excavations within the walled area of the city (Andrews et al., 2023).Whilst previous studies have noted the archaeological interest and potential of the area immediately outside the city (Scardozzi, 2003; Hay et al., 2010; Mastroianni, 2016), the doctoral research project is the first to undertake an extensive, integrative and multidisciplinary study of the entire peri-urban area. The objective of the research is to investigate the process of exploitation and urbanization of the landscape around the city, crossing the boundary of the city walls and reconnecting the relationship that bound the city to its territory.The principal technique of investigation is magnetometry, one of the most frequently applied geophysical techniques in archaeology and the first used inside the walled area (Keay et al., 2000). The area of investigation comprises the accessible fields around the city, to the north, east, south and west (Fig. 1). During the 2023 seasons, c. 35 ha of agricultural land was surveyed. The prospection was undertaken using a Bartington system with an array of eight sensors, at a fixed distance of 0.5 m and mounted on a non-magnetic manual cart together with a GPS.
