    Summary (English)

    • The excavations concentrated on structure 4, uncovered in 2014, and the area outside it.
      Numerous faunal remains, mainly pig, pottery fragments from cups, bowls with inverted rims, ovoid jars and carinated bowls, were found inside the room in a layer of dark, soft soil. In one case, a bowl found upside down and near a jar may have been its lid. A bronze fibula was found in the area where most of the metal finds were recovered by the north-eastern face of the wall.

      The underlying layers only produced a small amount of archaeological material, including a fragment of poured lead destined for mending? a votive sword whose negative imprint is still visible in it.

      The excavation of the area north of structure 2 produced numerous pottery fragments, part of a bronze votive sword, some slag, and an amber bead. The investigation in the area surrounding the hut identified a series of horizontal stone slabs arranged at the base of the circular structure’s perimeter wall. Outside of room 4, the excavation of the eastern area revealed a substantial accumulation of large stones, probably part of the collapse of the room’s wall facing. During the removal of the collapse, pottery fragments, including ribbon-handles decorated with impressed dots and incised herring-bone pattern, were found together with an awl and a bronze dagger.

      There was a layer of light coloured, compact soil to the south-west of the room, up against the wall. This contained abundant pottery, including a carinated bowl and several fragments of slag from bronze smelting
