The results of the excavation, they claim, showed that there was a monastery in this place, which was a spiritual center of this region.
“The stone walls of the monastery were preserved to a height of a meter and movable archeological materials from the 14th and 15th centuries were found. These are the objects that were used in this monastery. We have also found several fragments of luxury dining ceramics, and the other objects that we found were used for everyday life, such as kitchen pots, bowls, plates, etc. In one of the graves, we also found two buttons that were kept in the literature under the name ‘puce’, and in one of the graves there were the remains of a fabric, a connection from the then ceremonial costume with golden threads, in which the deceased was awakened,” explains archaeologist Ivana Grujic.
One room has been fully inspected, while the other, as it is presumed, is located below the base of a prefabricated building that was built for the needs of the church. The Institute points out that the works were completed this year, but that new research is expected in the spring, since it involves additional teams of archaeologists and other experts who will, through a multidisciplinary approach, help with the research.
Archaeological research is part of an entire project, the most significant part of which has already been prepared for 2019, when it will mark 500 years since the founding of the printing house and printing of the first book in this region. The wider area of Gorazde is abundant in archeological sites from different periods.
