This season of archaeological excavations was conducted in the section north of the western entrance to the town, at the area of the western entrance, then at the area between the Late Antique tower and “Trajan`s” gateway, and on the stretch of land between “Trajan`s” gateway and a Late Antique buttress leaning against the city wall. At the area of the western entrance to the town – possibly of pre-Roman origin – two distinctive horizons were identified. The former is contemporary with the foundations of the Late Republican city walls, while the latter belongs to the period following the construction of “Trajan`s” gateway – certainly not before the beginning of the 2nd century when “Trajan`s” gateway became the main entrance to the town. A double door similar to propugnaculum was also found. In the deepest layer, extending between the Late Republican city walls and Late Antique wall, a Liburnian gave was found. It was built of stone, on the Hellenistic model. Seven Early La Tène fibulae found in the grave and dated to 4th – 3rd centuries BC belong to Va phase of the Iron Age Liburnian culture. Six Liburnian tombstones were used for the construction of the inner facing of the Late Antique wall. At the area marked by the first Late Republican tower, “Trajan`s” gateway and the first Late Antique buttress, a thick layer of burning was identified, with numerous fragments of Roman ceramics and glass. A grave vault was found near the northern section of the city walls. The first out of five buttresses, between the second and third tower, was built on the grave dating to the Early Christian period (5th or early 6th century), which, therefore, determines a terminus ante quem non for the construction of the buttresses.
