The first excavations of Poggio Colla were directed by Francesco Nicosia from 1968 to 1972. Since 1995, the site has been excavated annually by the Mugello Valley Archaeological Project (MVAP) under the direction of Gregory Warden and Michael Thomas. MVAP is sponsored by Southern Methodist University and the University of Pennsylvania. Excavations at the site have revealed fortifications, a possible temple, and a necropolis.
