Abstract
In 2011 and 2012 the Institute of Archaeology carried out the archaeological investigation of the remains of a late mediaeval settlement (13th-15th centuries) at the site of Buzadovec-Vojvodice, on the route of the A12 motorway Sveta Helena – GP Gola.
The southern part of the site, in the western part of the route, yielded only a few features – refuse pits and fireplaces, as well as fences (for cattle?), while the concentration of finds increases towards the elevated ground in the east. The discovered remains of a large building with a cellar running underneath the length of the structure belong to a three-room residential house with the entrance in the south-east. It was surrounded by a number of pits, pointing to intensive activity in the “courtyard” of that household, which may have belonged to a village chief or, more likely, a nobleman. The central part of the site yielded only a single—most likely a two-room—residential house, and several pits and fireplaces. A number of pits, kilns and fireplaces or hearths in the northern part of the site point to a workshop activity.
