Le derrate del vescovo: spazi e funzioni

The remains that follow the use of the early medieval cemetery are a few medieval wooden structures dated to the 10th-11th century. Even though all the occupation layers of this period were removed by modern land reclamations, the traces of the bearing posts of wooden facilities, such as granaries, silos and storages, fortunately survived. A good portion of the area to the north of the Romanesque cathedral was exploited for the storage and preservation of food surplus, administered in all likelihood by the episcopal authority. To date, it is not known where Jesolo’s settlement was located (the most plausible hypothesis is that it extended to the south of the cathedral), but we know that the area that was reserved to burials at some point was reorganised and directly managed by the bishop in the administration of his functions and properties.
