In the period between May 23, 2011 and June 11, 2011 the tenth stage of the archaeological excavations at the site Stari Grad in Ivanec was conducted by the Institute of Archaeology. On this occasion, the research of some previously opened sectors was finished, and few new probes were opened. The graves found north of the nave of the Gothic church were explored as well as some of the older burials. In total, so far, 55 graves were explored in the sector north of the nave; based on their mutual relations and the difference established between the individual phases of burials they were chronologically divided into three groups. Cultural layers have been documented and removed - black, medieval, and brown, Roman - from which pieces of pottery and daub were collected. The remains of three large circular cut with the diameter of cca 40 cm, older than the graves excavated earlier and younger than the Medieval cultural layer, were established and excavated - they probably represent traces of an older wooden architecture. East of the Northern tower the last layer which prevented the ditch slopes from drifting was excavated. West of the Northern tower a complex of Modern Era walls and other structures filled with abundance of material, primarily fragments of ceramic vessels and tiles, was discovered. There is a possibility that these deeply buried structures completely annihilated the foundation of an assumed facade of a Romanesque church. The exploration of the defensive wall was also undertaken. Along its northern face a two meters wide probe was open which, together with the material left behind by the inhabitants of Stari Grad, provides an insight into an intense architectural activity during the Modern Era . This year's campaign brought Stari Grad even closer to our goal: the presentation of the most interesting architectural remains, and display of an exceptional complexity of life at the site in the very heart of the city of Ivanec.
