Summary/Abstract: The season's main objective was to perform some archaeological and conservation works in the baths uncovered in previous campaigns (2000–2002), in the funerary chapel (2003) and the basilica church (2003–2005). These three structures were partly destroyed and are still threatened by rain, wind and other factors. The basilica was measured this year with a Nikon Pulse Laser Station NPL-332, and other features, namely the baths and funerary chapel, measured in the traditional methodology in 2002, were verified. Conservation works this year encompassed two furnaces and two hypocaust cellars in the baths, as well as the basilica kiln and funerary chapel.
