This paper is a preliminary report of the results of the excavations of the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici of the Università della Calabria in the settlement of Timpone della Motta in Francavilla Marittima (CS). During the fifth year of excavation, research was conducted on plateau II. Evidence has been found relating to huts and houses built in stone and raw earth, which represent two different phases of the site. The most important discovery is a hoard of coins from Sibari, Metaponto and Crotone, connected to the fall of Sibari and the consequences resulting from this historical moment on the Timpone della Motta.
