Fig. 2 – Location of the historical and contemporary excavations and trenches on the Bostel: in blue Pellegrini’s excavations of 1912; in red Frescura’s excavations of 1969; in yellow the excavations of the University of Padova (Unipd), 1993-ongoing. The area of the archaeological park (referred throughout the text as ‘area 1’) is highlighted in green.
