Just as it marks 51 years since the first excavations that changed the archaeological history of Montuïri, and beyond the town of Es Pla, forever (as Vicenç Lull explained in this interview), the Son Fornés site is back in the news. This September, the team of archaeologists from the Son Fornés archaeological museum has focused their efforts on the enclosure located just behind the estate houses. A site, halfway between the Sabor talaiots and the large talayots already known on the estate. There, what was initially known as the "new" talayot has begun to reveal its best-kept secrets. For now, neither large stones, nor round.

The team of archaeologists working at the Talayotic settlement of Illot has documented new structures and elements of interest in recent weeks, including the remains of a possible home inside the sanctuary. According to a statement, the discovery, along with the study of the numerous ceramic pieces, bones, and sediments, will significantly expand our knowledge of the site. The team has completed the excavation campaign at Sanctuary 2, an intervention that is part of the project 'Chronology and functionality of the Majorcan sanctuaries and the SN1 and SN2 structures of the Islet: a multi-proxy analysis', coordinated by the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA, CSIC-UIB) and the Sant Llorenç des Cardassar City Council.
