) (feature no. 27) intersected the road surface and the features of the AD 2"

a century construction enclosed by the fencing wall. The feature made from small stones and tegula fragments, and sometimes also pottery fragments, which appeared in sections in widths of only 25-35 cm, belonged to the last period at the settlement. The storage pit (feature no. 54) found near the supposed track of the limes road in the western end of surface 2, was also a late feature as dated bv the Samian ware from the Severus period found there. A relatively large number of metal objects (coins, a bronze bracelet, belt buckle, brooches, bezelled rings, a stylus etc) was found (Fig. 5). The coins came from the period between the rules of Nerva and Constantinc the Great (I owe thanks to Melinda Torbágy for her identification of the coins). The late items do not help us in dating the use and abandonment of the vicus, since the proximity of the limes road mav also he the reason thev were found here. Krisztina Szirmai also took part in the excavation on Panel Road this year, and 1 am grateful for her help. The expected termination of the archaeological field work in 2005 and the subsequent and hopefully; fast detailed publication will provide valuable data on vet another densely inhabited area of the Albertfalva auxiliary v ieus. fózsef Beszédes
