IZVJEŠTAJ O ARHEOLOŠKOM NADZORU NA PAVLINSKOM TRGU U SENJU (STUDENI 2019. – LIPANJ 2020.)
REPORT ABOUT THE ARCHAELOGICAL SUPERVISION ON THE SITE OF PAVLINSKI TRG IN SENJ (NOVEMBER 2019 - JUNE 2020)

Summary/Abstract: The archaeological supervision of the construction works on Pavlinski trg (Pauline Square) in Senj was carried out by Senj Town Museum. The specialist leader of the supervision concerned was Blaženka Ljubović, MSc. Education (History) and MSc. Archaeology, along with the conservation supervision of Vinko Madiraca, BSc. an archaeologist from the Conservation Department in Gospić. The mentioned construction works were carried out in the period from November 2019 to the end of June 2020. In the past, according to historical sources, Pavlinski trg in Senj was the location of a Dominican and then Pauline monastery with the Church of St Nicholas, which due to its state of disrepair was demolished in 1874 with part of the city wall in the area of the old sea gate. The subject of this paper is the archaeological supervision of the protection of the Pavlinski trg site (the area of the former Pauline Church of St Nicholas and the monastery in Senj) during the construction works of the landscaping of the square. Supervision was carried out in order to collect all the relevant information about the cultural strata and archaeological finds, especially because during earlier archaeological research archaeological material (grave finds) was documented from certain historical periods of the church-monastery complex, as well as immovable architectural structure, archaeologically interesting, at certain depths from the level of the pavement of Pavlinski trg. The aim of the archaeological supervision was to determine the dimensions of the church and monastery and to protect any possible graves inside the church from possible destruction.
