A Rescue Archaeological Excavition in the Area of the Fran Glavinić Gradient and an Exploration of the Roman Street Network at Pula

Od 7. ožujka do 31. ožujka 2011. godine istovremeno su izvedeni zaštitni arheološki radovi i građevinski radovi vezani uz polaganje nove komunalne infrastrukture (popravljanje kanalizacije, izgradnja novih šahtova te postavljanje novih plinskih i vodovodnih cijevi) u donjem dijelu Uspona Frana Glavinića, u starom dijelu Pule. Tom je prilikom ondje registrirana trasa popločenja antičke ceste. Iskop je obavljen na već postojećoj, staroj trasi plinovoda, čije su polaganje 1976. godine nadzirali djelatnici Arheološkog muzeja Istre.During the month of March, 2011, a rescue archaeological excavation was carried out, coupled with a series of construction works related to the building of a new communal infrastructure (repairs on the sewage disposal system, the construction of new manholes, installation of new gas and water pipes) in the lower section of the Fran Glavinić Gradient (Uspon Frana Glavinića), located in the old part of the town of Pula. On that occasion we registered the paved route of a Roman road. The excavation was executed on the already existent old route of the gas pipeline, whose erection was supervised by staff from the Archaeological Museum of Istria in 1976
