Abstract

Trial archaeological excavation was performed in the summer
of 2020 in the area of a former roller skating grounds located
to the rear of Pula’s amphitheatre. This was a necessary step
ahead of planned construction work at a previously undeveloped
part of the city block bordered by Faverijska street to the north,
Scalierova street to the south-southeast, and the Ozad Arene
street to the west. Ten graves exhibiting significant differentiation
in terms of grave architecture typology were found in two of the
three excavated archaeological trenches. Some of the deceased
persons were laid directly on the ground with no grave structure.
Grave goods date the burials to the period from the 1st to 3rd
c. The investigated graves are part of the Pula necropolis that
ran along the road from the Porta Gemina to Nesactium.
