The online conference Mediterranean Coastal Landscapes and their Roman Villas: Excavations and Research in Progress was held on 26 October 2026.

During October 2026, the first archaeological excavations were carried out at the Cisterna site. Two trial trenches yielded interesting results concerning the function and dating of part of the Roman maritime architectural complex.

In May and June 2026, the results of the research were disseminated through three conference presentations at two international scientific conferences.

In collaboration with the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, Brown University, the third archaeological research campaign at the site of the Roman olive oil production complex in Barbariga is being carried out from 11 to 29 May 2026.

In collaboration with Brown University, Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World (USA), the research of the Roman olive oil factory in Barbariga has continued.
