NEW FINDINGS REGARDING THE ECONOMIC PART OF BARGALA

Abstract

The excavations conducted on the archaeological site Bargala in the period 2007 – 2011 supplement and partially conclude previous knowledge about the Episcopium sector. In the light of the the new excavations, the authors analyze the defined newly researched areas, and in particular the usage of certain buildings located by the fortification wall. Because of the character of the discovered buildings, these essay  suggests that this area is an integral part of the economic area of the town, which was in the service of the Episcopal center. Based on the conclusion from the research of this area, the authors suggest that only two chronological building phases can be differentiated.
