out archaeological supervision and protective investigation over the initial works of preservation –
the cleaning of the site of the former Church of St Francis in Senj (Stage 1). The church is located
between the cultural-historical whole of the town of Senj – a cultural asset listed in the Register

of the Ministry of Culture, the Conservation Department in Gospić issued on 14th September
2017 the Department gave the conditions for the implementation of protective archaeological
investigations – the archaeological supervision over works on the protection of the site and its
initial archaeological cleaning. With the resolution it was determined that the archaeological
supervision – and if necessary archaeological investigation - be carried out by the Senj Town
Museum, in other words, Professor Blaženka Ljubović, the director of the museum. The initial
works in the preparation stage of the site lasted from September to November in 2017.The subject
of this paper is the works regarding the preservation of the former Church of St Francis in Senj
and its initial archaeological cleaning. The archaeological supervision of the cleaning works was
carried out with the purpose of gathering all the important information about the cultural levels and
archaeological finds at the site. This cleaning stage, along with the archaeological supervision, was
carried out with the aim of establishing the dimensions of the church and the protection of graves
