square-shaped buildings were still visible in the northern part of Lussonium, located
on the eastern and western side of the former Roman road. We planned to determine
the exact extent of each structure with the help of a 3 x 30 m archaeological trench
located in centreline of the buildings. However, no buildings were found in the trench,

road. A circular stone furnace and a pit was also discovered in the western part of the
trench.
