Abstract

Archaeological trial excavation was performed in May and
June of 2020 at the head of the Sveti Martin cove near Poreč
with the objective of determining the exact position and extent
of an identified archaeological site ahead of the production of
design documentation for planned construction. Data in the
literature concerning the presence of an archaeological site,
i.e., the presumed position of antique period architecture in
the immediate vicinity of the St Martin church building, was
limited to the mention of individual finds. The archaeological
investigative work revealed antique period rural architecture,
sections of which were not previously visible. The investigation,
covering a limited area, showed that the site was abandoned
in the late antique period, when parts of the structure from the
period of its formation were destroyed.
