Summary (English)

  • The excavations in 2005 at the basilica at Phoenice were located mainly in three areas, namely the central and northern nave and the vault, revealing various structures and tombs. The floor was totally missing but the walls were preserved, complete with plaster. In the area of the vault numerous tombs and a wall, damaged after the Ugolini’s excavation, were recorded. In the central nave traces of the limestone pavement were found. The walls were poorly constructed. Elements of the northern transept and further tombs of similar construction were also recorded, for which no previous inventory exists.
