Abstract
Archaeological test excavation was performed in September
of 2023 ahead of the development of the area around the
St Peregrinus (Sveti Pelegrin) church, located to the south of
Umag. The results obtained from four exploratory trenches
show the dynamics and the continuity of the use of this space
from antiquity to the present day. A multilayered stratigraphy
of settlement activity was identified. The St Peregrinus church
overlaps parts of a Roman period maritime villa the use of
which has been confirmed into the late antique period on the
basis of recovered artefacts. The investigative work uncovered
segments of the initial retaining wall that bounded the area of
the plateau around the church building; data from the historical
cadastre and the recovered artefacts were used to establish the
phases of its construction.
