Sažetak

In 2004, the systematic archaeological research was resumed in the village of Gardun, at the site of the former Roman legionary camp Tilurium. Research was conducted at two camp sites that were examined in previous years as well (probes A and Z1), and research commenced at a new position as well (probe KJZ). The research, which in the probe A continued on both southern and northern side of the wall A, documented the Roman period walking level on the southern side of the building which will be dated by four coins found in that layer. A disposal pit was discovered below the Roman walking level. In later periods it was cut by wall A and counterfort K22. Foundations of the counterforts are detached from the foundations of wall A and they are somewhat shallower. Wall A and counterforts are mutually connected only by the Roman walking level. The research in probe Z1 which was extended eastwards established that walls marked as s.u. 2 and 3 were built over the layer of dense and thickly stomped large gravel, as well as over the sterile layer of yellow clay. Under the wall s.u. 2, there is stratigraphic unit 22, in which a cheek-piece (paragnatida) was discovered. Based on initial analysis can be generally dated to the mid-first century (Fig. 5). The probe KJZ was located on the spot which was upon analysis of aerial photographs conditionally designated as the south-western tower of the camp fortification. Archaeological research did not confirm any architectural remains which could be related to the results of the aerial photo analysis
