Sažetak
Fourteen graves were discovered during the archaeological excavations at Poljana Šime Budnića public space. Based on the altitude of burials and their characteristics, the graves can be divided in two groups. Graves no. 8, 9 and 15, dug in deeper stratigraphic units, belong to the first group. These are probably sporadic burials from the Late Antiquity, when the rules insisting on burials only outside city walls became somewhat less strict. Other graves, dug in the stratigraphic units formed above the remains of the antique architecture, belong to the second group. They were part of the city cemetery created in the medieval period to the south of St. Stephen’s Church, later renamed St. Simon’s Church. The wall no. 10 that separated the cemetery area from the main street could be connected with the latter graves. Roughly, the cemetery existed in the period spanning the 12th and 14th centuries.
