Summary/Abstract: The present paper summarizes the results of the 2021-2022 archaeological campaigns on the Acropolis Centre-South Sector in Istros / Histria (Romania), undertaken by a team from the University of Bucharest. The project, which started in 2013, led to the identification of a previously unknown 6th-7th c. AD insula, and now is nearing its initial objective of completely uncovering the latter’s last functioning phase, before researching the earlier insulae in that area. In 2021 and 2022, the excavations identified new walls and segments of walls, living surfaces (hard yellow silt floors and stone pavements), access ways (entrances) and certain building elements (sidewalks) that allow us to better understand the functioning of the spaces that compose the insula.
