One of the last textual references to Cosa comes from the work of Rutilius Claudius Namatianus in his De reditu suo.

In the 20th century, Cosa was the site of excavations carried out under the auspices of the American Academy in Rome, initially under the direction of the archaeologist Frank Edward Brown. Excavations (1948-54, 1965-72) have traced the city plan, the principal buildings, the port, and have uncovered the Arx, the forum, and a number of houses. Unexcavated buildings include a bathing establishment, but no trace of a theater or an amphitheater has been found. In the 1990s a limited series of excavations were carried out under the direction of Elizabeth Fentress, then associated with the American Academy in Rome. This latter campaign aimed at understanding the history of the site between the imperial period and the middle agest. Sample excavations took place over the whole site, with larger excavations on the Arx, the Eastern Height and around the Forum.

Hardback. F. E. Brown, The University of Michigan Press. Cosa was a Latin colony founded by Rome in 273 BC in a territory confiscated from the Etruscan city of Vulci. The town became an agricultural and commercial centre, whose trade can be traced in part through a distinctive type of amphora to destinations throughout the Mediterrnean world. But Cosa's archaeological importance lies in the information its structure and town-planning provide about the Republican period. Cosa IV: the Houses by Vincent J. Bruno and Russell T. Scott Report on a group of recently excavated houses between the forum and the northwest gate which traces the development of the Roman house from a small urban dwelling of the early colony to the more elaborate houses of the late second and early first centuries BC, including an example of the atrium house. 211p, 118 b/w illus (Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome Volume XXXVIII, Penn State Press 1993) Cosa III: the Buildings of the Forum by Frank E. Brown, Emeline Hill Richardson and L. Richardson Report on the excavations of the forum at Cosa, the purest example of a Republican forum which clearly shows the sequence of planning and building from its beginnings as the political heart of the town to its commercial developement with shops and markets.
