The researchers worked on five areas all over the hillfort during the season of 2013.

On the Southern excavation site, more trenches were dug out alongside the rampart, but it has appeared that the cultural layer was deposited only near the household pits and dwellings. Only an archaic bilobate arrowhead that was detected on the ancient surface draws attention.

Works within the NE trench on the fortification rampart was continued but the researchers were not able to explore the ditch. Instead, it was outlined three construction periods that correspond with the fireplaces discovered in the previous year.

South-Western excavation site. Eight household pits of different shapes and sizes were explored here (№№ 15-22). Generally speaking, all of them were filled with the wastes of everyday life: shreds of pottery, pieces of animal bones and burned clay fragments. Pit 15 is distinguished by finds of details of horse bridle decorated in the Scythian animal style: fragments of two psalia and a bead. One of the psalia is decorated with a griffin image together with lines of carved triangles. Another one has an end in a form of a horse hoof. Besides that, wastes of horn carving and semi-finished bone arrowheads were found in pit 16. Due to the researchers, this testifies to the local production of such artefacts.

Northern excavation site brought not so many finds. Only four small household pits (№№ 23-26) were explored here and only one bronze earring could be mentioned.

The first trench was dug out on the Central excavation site. Here the researchers discovered part of the big and deep complex that was not fully explored this year. However, in the upper layer, they detected an interesting iron razor and trilobate arrowhead among the other usual finds.

All collected material lay within the mid. 7th – mid 6th centuries BC.
