Abstract
The article represents an extension of the chapter entitled “New light on the temple of Athens: re- shaping the landscape” for the exhibition and catalogued called Poseidonia Città d’Acqua, which opened at Paestum in October of 2019. There emphasis was placed on presenting the substantive gains made in the study of the large artificial mound at the site. Here the focus will shift to the design of the fieldwork, which was carried out over five field seasons. The first part of the article reviews each of the steps in the research design: (1) the GPR survey (August 2019), (2) the initial series of cores made by hand (November 2017), (3) the first excavations (July 2018), (4) the series of ten deep, machine-made cores (April 2019) and (5) the second excavations (June 2019). This is followed by a wider discussion of my field experience on previous projects and then by the thinking that went into the individual steps in the research design and that brought them together in a coherent way.
