During the year 2003 two interventions were undertaken in the necropolis of the city. The first one was located in the site S16, approximately 100 m away from the necropolis. There were discovered traces of a funerary monument constructed with limestone blocks and also of grave made by stone slabs.
This evidence enlarges the size of the area of the necropolis about 700 m to the east-west and 300 m to the north-south. The interventions that were carried out in the autumn provided very interesting data about the necropolis. During this period were excavated about 20 graves of typologies that were already known from the first excavation seasons. The excavation was located mainly in the area of cemetery, named as area 24. It contained about 4 graves of different types. A large cemetery occupied the centre of this area. The graves were made by stone slabs, bricks and rarely by tiles. In the south-east was discovered another cemetery area which took the number 23. It contained only a grave. The rituals and grave orientations are the same. The types of grave goods discovered during this year are the same as in the other excavation seasons. There is noticed only an increase in the total number of discovered finds.
