Summary
Vujadin Ivanievi and Sonja Stamenkovi
DECONSTRUCTION OF THE CARIIN GRAD FORTIFICATIONS
Year after year, archaeological research of Cariin Grad advances our
knowledge of the urbanism of this unique Early Byzantine city. Thanks to the
excavations which follow conservation works at the Acropolis fortification,
new data are gained regarding the construction of the ramparts, towers, posterns, and stairways. Especially important to us are the clues for establishing
the time and manner of use of the fortifications. It is commonly believed that
the ramparts and towers of the Acropolis had fulfilled their function from the
very beginning of Cariin Grad until the termination of life in the city.
However, new findings show that in different parts of Cariin Grad the
fortifications underwent considerable changes, such as repairs of the ramparts, towers, and other facilities. These interventions have been recorded on
the Lower Towns southeast corner tower, and on the southern rampart of the
Acropolis too, where during the lifespan of the city even the foundations of the
ruined tower were deconstructed to make room for a minor building erected
in its place. Apart from this, the eastern stairways lost their function. With the
erection of the building leaning on the southern rampart of the Acropolis, at
the place where the tower used to be, the defensive role of the fortification was
completely suspended. Along with this, the building testifies to a considerable
intramural settlement.
It is important to mention that in the debris layers of this area four fragments were found of a column made out of Green Thessalian Stone, or verde
antico, undoubtedly originating from the internal decorative program of the
Episcopal Basilica, most probably from the ciborium.
