This is one of the areas the project focused on in the 2019 seaon, you can see where it is on this model, its the area arround annotation 3.
This area has remains of some of the houses from the old village of Nivica that was destroyed and abandoned in 1913. We removed a small amount of topsoil arround the walls to identify the possible extent of the walls. We might open a trench here at a later date to see if we can find some archaeology of the earlier periods of settlement in Nivica.
It seems like there are two buildings here, possibly with a courtyard between them. We know from stories told by the local commnity that the buildings were very tightly packed together. Some were so close that you could reach out of a window and hold hands with a neighbour!
