Sector 7

It is on the northern side of the fortress, outside the inner onumental fortification  wall, between the main northern date and the nort-east semi-circular tower. The goal of the excavations on this area is to obtain data on the vertical stratigraphy and the possible remnants of life and other activities outside the medieval fortification walls.
Under the debris, layers and damages of the modern times, only minimal remnants of the Middle Ages were found, such as a set of silver-coated vessels (plate with a cover and a cup). Immediately under this horizon, layers of prehistoric architecture with remnants of life in different periods of prehistory appeared.
The oldest traces of life in this area, as well as the complete location are from Eneolithic time, that is, around 4000/3500 years BC. This is a spacious settlement, whose remnants are found along teh complete area of Kale. A lot of pottery typical for this [period was discovered, mainly gray in colour and with smoothened surface. Some of teh more typical objects are a zoomorphic figure of a miniature piglet/bovine, gray in colour and with a rough surface.
