The excavations of the monastery of St Mary the Great in Istria continued from the 19th to the 29th October 2015. The aim of this campaign (mostly financed by the Croatian Ministry of Culture) was to expand the archaeological trenches following the western enclosure wall towards north.
The excavation revealed a rectangular structure adjacent to the western wall of the monastery. Circular from the inside, it has been recognized as an economical facility, of the same shape as those previously discovered along the eastern monastery wall.
Beside project team members involved in the excavations, other team members took part in documenting the finds (R. Starac, M. Bradanović, S. Mustač, M. Levak), as well as a group of students from Zagreb University.
