Abstract
The paper presents in brief the results of the revising archaeological excavations performed by the St. Martha's Church (Sv. Marta) from 1967 till 1969. In 1970, upon completion of the researches, the excavated sacral complex was conserved. 7be excavations included and researched the entire free area around the mins of the St. Martha's Church, as well as a part of the country road to the north of the church. Still unexplored is the entire area to the south of the sacral complex, where a thick network of basement walls had been found before, most probably belonging to dwellings and outbuildings. As the most valuable found, there is emphasized the discovery of the semicircular apse, situated immediately after the rectangular apse of the St. Martha's Church, dated to the paleo-Christian epoque.In the area included by the revision, there have been found and studied 28 early-medieval tombs.
