and exact reconstruction are still controversial today. In the summer of 2019, the Universities of Bochum and Bonn started new investigations to clarify some of these problems. During the first excavation campaign, several new fragments of architectural ornamentation and mosaic flooring were found. Above all, a limestone head was discovered which belongs to the known capitals. At the same time, the backfilling of the podium was uncovered. Its analysis provided clear information about the construction process: the temple podium was apparently erected in one phase. In addition, an older phase of the altar was found. A parallel investigation was carried out to record all components by means of the structure from motion method. The data obtained in this way now allow a more precise reconstruction of the buildings.
Selinunte, conducted excavations in the Cotone Valley on the eastern slope of Selinous between 2010
and 2012. The project has investigated sections of a huge industrial quarter discovered by geophysical
prospection. In the course of the excavations, the city wall with a water drain, the street next to the
wall, and the street S16-E were uncovered. Five kilns of rectangular and rounded shape in particular
verify the production of ceramic goods. Next to these kilns, a tiled room featuring a roof-tile pavement
was uncovered. Evidence of a small domestic sanctuary and typical workshop equipment (e.g. spacers)
were found in this room. The structures can be identified as the eastern section of an extended pottery
workshop dating to the 6th–5th centuries BC, destroyed by the Carthaginians in 409 BC."
