Traces of Roman settlement at Grublje near Vipava
Abstract
The article presents the results of the preliminary archaeological investigations and rescue excavation that were conducted at Grublje near Vipava in 2008. The results take into account previous research at the site as well as a detailed analysis of the small finds. The excavation revealed the western edge of a Roman-period settlement, most probably inhabited between the end of the first and the fourth centuries AD. The excavated structures can be interpreted as the remains of a small countryside settlement, which was situated on the fringes of the Vipava Valley in the vicinity of the Roman road from Aquileia to Emona. The small finds are varied and comparable to those from contemporary sites in western Slovenia. They include fragments of imported pottery and wine amphorae that indicate a relatively prosperous settlement.
Keywords: Roman Period, Vipava Valley, Grublje, settlement, pottery, Early Middle Ages, strap-end
