Abstract

This paper presents archaeological investigative work at the San
Lorenzo site on cadastral plot 60 in the cadastral municipality
of Ližnjan, during the installation of a new substation and
underground low voltage lines, about 1.5 km from the core
of Šišan. The San Lorenzo site is located in the southeast
coastal area of Šišan in the Ližnjan municipality. The
foundations of the devastated walls of a Roman period rural
structure were revealed in the course of machine excavation.
The alignment of masonry foundations of the Roman period
structure runs towards the present day asphalted road from
Šišan to Svetica (Monte Madonna). The edge of an Austro-
Hungarian compacted gravel road that cuts across part of the
walls and rooms of the Roman rural structure was revealed
immediately below the current asphalt surface during further
machine excavation to the south of the Roman structure, at the
side of the road from Šišan to Svetica.
