Abstract

The paper presents the results of the archaeological rescue excavations that were conducted by the archaeological company Kantharos in cooperation with the Institute of Archaeology in 2021 on Ivana Pavla II Street (the so-called Lupi plot) in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar. The excavations found an ancient building, with the remains of architecture and concomitant artefacts and animal remains, indicating that the space was intensively used during the Greek and Roman periods (from the 4th century BC to the 3rd century AD), after which it was abandoned, probably because of the narrowing of the urban area indicated by the construction of a new rampart.

A lack of data at the end of the text was noticed, after the text was added, the pdf version of the paper was replaced on 20.2.2023.
