Summary/Abstract: The investigations undertaken this year were designed to fit the following objectives: a) Understanding the habitation density in the northern area of the Plateau, b) Documenting the shape, dimensions, structure and chronology of the fortification “C” on the Plateau, c) Documenting the stratigraphy and chronology of the southern side of the Western Hillock. In the beginning we will present, in short, some features located in both up-mentioned digging sectors, as well as the fortification ditch, in order to draw together in the end some general statements. In total there were investigated 18 new complexes (three dwellings, a hut, 10 pits, two external fireplaces and two complexes with unclear functionality); to this, one should add the further investigation of the fortification (consisting of a ditch and turf wall). All the identified features belonged to the 2nd-1st centuries BC. The archaeological excavations were done in close relation with interdisciplinary investigations: geophysics, topography and close-range photogrammetry from UAVs.
