Archaeological excavations began in 2004 and continued during June and July in 2005. In 2004, a Sopot culture settlement and several pits from other periods (Bronze Age, Middle Ages) were discovered. In 2005, the excavations of the Sopot culture settlement continued – the third house was fully excavated, the fourth house was uncovered and a dugout was partially excavated, and several smaller pits of the Sopot culture were excavated.
According to previous research, the Sopot culture settlement was surrounded by a wooden palisade and located on the western side of a elevated plateau. So far, excavations revealed four above-ground buildings – houses, three of which were placed in one row. The fourth house (6.40 m wide), found and excavated in 2005, was located in a second, probably parallel row of above-ground buildings. All four houses found so far were rectangular in shape, with a north-south orientation and very similar dimensions (approx. 12 m long and approx. 6 m wide). In the interior, as well as in the load-bearing walls, the remains of regularly arranged pillars that supported the roof structure were found. The houses were made of wood – their constructions were made of pillars and the walls were made of combination of wattle and mud. In none of the excavated houses a floor made of compacted earth or a hearth were found, and small finds were scarse. The entrance to all the houses was located on the southern side. In 2005, a kidney-shaped dugout of the Sopot culture was found and partially excavated, with numerous ceramic finds, lithic artifacts, discarded animal bones and other finds. The cuts of the pillars in the dugout served as supports that held animal skin coverlet, and the entrance on the south was represent by small steps and the cuts of the pillars.
Among the small finds, the most common were fragments of ceramic vessels for everyday use, clay loomweights; the ceramics of finer texture were represented mainly by fragments decorated with warty and horn-like protrusions and incisions, and fragments of hollow bell-shaped cups on a leg. Of the specific purpose ceramic objects, a fragment of an altar´s leg was found – in a shape of conical vessel. Among the lithic are split lithic artefacts and polished stone axes (L. Miklik-Lozuk 2006, Hrvatski arheološki godišnjak 2/2005, 51–52).
