Comments
Several remains of buildings located in the center of the highest elevation of the vicus were uncovered in the first half of the 20th century. The search for structures was therefore limited to the area around the already known excavation site, which was overgrown at the time of the measurement, and gave weak indications of further building structures.

The survey was difficult because of the necessity of leaving blank numerous olive trees. Isolated, clearly visible, rounded densities, which roughly correspond in number and shape to the left out tree areas, should be referred to as the roots of dead trees.

A. In the north of the prospecting area, parts of the presumed outer walls of a rectangular building can be seen, the orientation of which corresponds to the structures excavated in the center.

B. To the west of the presumed building A, there are further linear densifications with higher resistivity but their interpretation as remains of foundation-structures is quite uncertain.

C. To the west of the uncovered area, one can see weak linear and flat areas of higher resistivity, which suggest that the edge area of ​​the central structures has not yet been excavated. Also on the western edge of this measuring area, high resistivity, presumed collapse areas can be seen.

D. In the southern corner of the examined area
there are rectangular, flat densities, which, together with a linear structure running to the northwest, indicate further foundation structures.

E. At the lower, south-eastern edge of the central dig, an area stands out due to the many, rather closely spaced, single densities that, viewed as a unit, could possibly be assigned to the ground plan of a collapsed building, especially because of their strikingly straight edges.
However, a dense accumulation of dead olive trees cannot be ruled out.

F. Little further to the west one can see a quite regular series of vertical lines of high resistivity. These could possibly be interpreted as retaining walls of a central building or dividing walls of several narrow rooms.

G. A 15 m to 20 m long section of wall runs along the eastern edge of the central excavation, which probably depicts the partially collapsed east wall of one of the central buildings. Furthermore, one positive and one negative long rectangular area suggest possible further building-structures outside the already excavated center.

H. In the north-easternmost area of ​​the survey-area, the ground resistance changes quite considerably along a clearly recognizable, vertical line. An extension of the prospecting area to the northeast could make further building structures visible here.
