Summary (English)
The new campaign of archaeological excavations was concentrated on the continuation of works at the position of the western entrance to Asseria, marked by the first Late Republican tower and “Trajan`s” gateway, then around the vaulted grave, and in the eastern part of the town near the gateway. At the western entrance to the town, on the front outer side of the propugnaculum, a corner stone with a large circular groove for the axis of the door was uncovered. On the inner side of the propugnaculum, a fragment of massive threshold, preserved in full width, was found. Under the threshold, an older road with kerb-stones was identified. The road is level with the first corner stone of the Late Republican city wall. Between the Late Republican city wall and Late Antique wall, on the line stretching between the first Late Republican tower and “Trajan`s” gateway, a segment of an Iron Age bulwark was uncovered. The wall was built of smaller and larger stone ashlars without the use of mortar. The outer facing of the wall was preserved, while the inner was destroyed by the construction of the Late Republican city walls. Under the northern section of the wall, a massive substructure was identified. In the rampart towards the city wall, three Liburnian funerary monuments were found. (Marko Sinobad)
