POLISH-MACEDONIAN EXCAVATIONS AT NEGOTINO GRADIŠTE PRELIMINARY REPORT 2009 – 2015, 2015
Negotino Gradište has been systematically excavated by a multinational team since 2009. The site goes as far back as the 5th century BC. The earliest coin found at the site so far is a tetrobol of Acanthus, dating to ca. 525-470 BC. Fourth-century, Hellenistic, and Roman levels have been excavated so far. There is a hiatus in settlement between the Late Hellenistic and Augustan periods. The site was deserted in the early 2nd century AD. Probably in the reign of Arcadius (AD 383-408) it was roughly fortifi ed as a refuge settlement.
New Results of the Archaeological Excavations on the Site Gradište near Iđoš: Season 2014
The archaeological site of Gradište near Iđoš, in the municipality of Kikinda, Serbia, is well known in the archaeological literature of the region. Excavated on several occasions since 1913, the site is best known for the existence of a late Neolithic settlement where material culture belonging to both Vinča and Tisza communities was found in the same archaeological contexts. Furthermore, the site is known for a 250 metre diameter fortified settlement from the Late Bronze/Early Iron Age period. А new research cycle was initiated in 2014 in order to explain cultural processes during prehistory in this part of the Pannonian basin. The first season of the new research campaign was focused on geophysical prospection of an area of approximately 2 hectares, geological coring and excavation of four stratigraphic trenches across the site. This work has confirmed the existence of up to 2.5 metres of archaeological remains on the tell site with several daub structures detected and the existence of numerous archaeological features within the Late Bronze - Iron Age settlement.
PLATES 55-63] Systematic, documented, archaeological excavations have been carried out at negotino Gradište annually since 2009. For a description of the site see the report in NC 2015. the excavations in the 2012 season were principally funded by the Polish national Research centre (narodowe centrum nauki), 2 as well as the Macedonian Ministry of culture, and a private Polish sponsor (KRaudyt, a company part-owned by Tadeusz Robiński). Field work on the site was co-directed by Goran Sanev representing the national archaeological Museum of Macedonia (Skopje), and nicholas Sekunda.
LATE ANTIQUE RESIDENCES AT GOLEMO GRADIŠTE, KONJUH, R. MACEDONIA
Nis & Byzantium, 2012
The systematic excavations that began at Golemo Gradište in 2000 were the first major, legal investigations on the site itself. Through survey of the site, researchers had reached a number of conclusions and hypotheses about lines of fortification walls, location of gates, and roads associated with the site. But almost nothing was known about the buildings or the internal arrangement of the site, and there were questions about dating. Therefore, both on the acropolis (2000-2004) and on the northern terrace (2005-present), the first step was to set trenches in several places, to investigate the architecture and the urban plan and to establish a chronology of the settlement.
Interim report on the Polish–Georgian excavation of a Roman fort in Gonio (Apsaros) in 2014
Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean
Archaeological excavations of three sections of the inner areas of the fort of Apsaros were conducted by the Gonio-Apsaros archaeological expedition of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Agency of Adjara in 2014. Remains of several buildings were unearthed in the Roman cultural levels. Artifacts from these layers reflect a Roman presence in the area from the second half of the 1st to the end of the 3rd century AD.

The main purpose of this book is to present a catalogue of the terracotta lamps and moulds used for their production, excavated from the site of Negotino Gradište in the Republic of North Macedonia during excavations conducted by Macedonian and Polish archaeologists over the period from 2007 to 2014. The volume starts with an introduction giving basic information about the site and some summary information about lamps in antiquity. The catalogue consists of 157 artefacts, which are grouped chronologically and then typologically. The book contains drawings and photographic plates, which are presented at the end of the volume.

Archaeological excavations in Risan, Montenegro, in 2004 2007 focused on six areas: Villa of Hypnos, Carine VI, Carine VII, graðine, ðamija, and Roman necropolis. Other work included investigation of the Rhizon fortifications. An underwater survey was accomplished using underwater camera technology to record the area around cape Rtc at the mouth of the pila river, next to the Teuta hotel. A salvage project to document rock art in the locality of Lipci near Risan was also completed.
Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean, 2016
The Roman fort of Apsaros in Gonio (Adjara, Georgia) still holds answers to many issues connected with the Roman military presence on the Chorokhi river in ancient Colchis. In 2014, a Polish team joined the Georgian expedition to carry out excavation in two sectors diretly east of the centrally located principia. The sites were chosen based on a study of the results of geophysical prospection carried out in 2012. Two phases, dated to the early and late Roman periods respectively, were recorded. The early Roman architecture was interpreted as part of the installations and structures of a large bathhouse (balneae), including a mosaic floor in one of the rooms. The building was destroyed at least twice, most likely in a catastrophic fire. The article discusses the stratigraphy and the dating of the early Roman balneae based on glass artifacts and coins.
