Ongoing work includes archival research, as well as drafting short texts for information panels for the late Roman enclosures. In 2014, geophysics will also be carried out in the area of the watchtowers, as the exact locations of the installations investigated in the earlier 20th century are no longer known. In June and July 2014, the Cantonal Archaeology of Aargau and the Vindonissa Professorship will also carry out construction investigations and smaller soundings in the area of the Late Roman watchtowers, as well as in the Late Roman and early medieval site in advance of the planned restoration and conservation work.Collection
