NOVAE (Pavlina Vladkova – pavlina_v@yahoo.com) The exploration of Room E, constructed over the foundations of earlier buildings, continued. The lower part of its walls was built of stones, while bricks were also incorporated in the upper parts. A pavement of bricks was documented. The room was probably repaired, after some earthquake, or after the floor had collapsed due to the existence of a hypocaust in the earlier building. The room functioned during AD 200 – 290. During the next construction period, the floor level was raised with a layer of trampled clay and the entrance on the northern wall of the room was walled. The finds from the layer of trampled clay included a lead buckle, a lead ingot and a coin of Valens. Room V was discovered. It had a hypocaust both under the floor and inside the walls which were plastered with mortar. The southern part of Room V was cut by the southern wall of Room E. Bricks with stamps of Legio I Italica from the supporting columns of the hypocaust were discovered. Supporting terracotta tubes were also used for the hypocaust. Two construction periods were documented in the room. Room VI was documented to the east of Room V. The architectural remains discovered during the excavations so far belonged to four separate houses and a street between them. The first construction period in the architectural complex dated to AD 100 – 170.
