Abstract
During the rescue archaeological excavations that the archaeologists
from the Croatian Conservation Institute conducted on St.
Servolo Square at Buje in the course of 2010, a whole series of
movable and immovable archaeological finds had been discovered,
which cover a long period of life that went on in the very center
of the old historical section of town. Among the finds we single
out Iron Age archaeological strata that confirm the existence of
a prehistoric hillfort in the area of a subsequent medieval city,
followed by remnants of the medieval church of St. Servolo and
the appurtenant town cemetery, the medieval defensive wall of the
town, other structures from the same period, and archaeological
layers containing movable archaeological material that confirms
such datings.
