Az idei évben sajnos a tervezettnél kisebb összeget nyert el intézményünk, ezért a pályázatban eredetileg megjelölt 9., 10., 10a., és 11. belviségck közül esak az utóbbi háromban tudtunk dolgozni, a 9. hclviség később kerül majd feltárásra. (1, kép) A területet korábban Kuzsinszkv B. kutatta 1890-9l-ben, akkor azonosította az átrium kőlapokkal burkolt, északi és déli oldalain három-három oszlopból és köztük kőhasábokból álló oszlopsorát, a főbejárat 3,6 m hosszú küszöbkövét, cupicd the northern part. Earlier (in the first half of the AD 2

nd century), metal was most likely processed in the building. Regretfully, this vear's grant was smaller, so out of rooms 9, 10, 10a and 11 marked in the grant competition, onlv the latter three could be worked on. The excavation of room no. 9 had to be postponed. (Fig. I) B. Kuzsinszkv investigated the area in 1890-1891. He identified the two rows of columns on the northern and southern sides of the stone-paved atrium, which consisted of three columns each side and stone blocks between them, the 3.6 m long threshold stone of the main entrance and the special entrance opening into the southern part of the room. The impluvium, a common component of atriums, was situated in the northeast part of the room where he found fragments of a carved and channeled well rim in the same room. In room no. 10, he documented a heating channel and hypocaust pillars. A marble Minerva bust and a marble portrait of a voung man were also found during B. Kuzsinszky's excavations. Their exact provenance inside the building is not known (KUZSINSZKY 1891, 83-139). The methods used in the previous vears were applied during the excavations in 2007 as well. Test trenches were opened in the rooms leaving the original laver sequence intact for future investigations in a few places. Seeping ground water made work difficult this vear as well, so that it was necessarv to abandon a few of the test trenches. Six major building phases could so far be differentiated because of the very complex walls and layers intersecting each other, matching the results of the 2004 and 2006 investigations. The absolute dating of the individual building phases is
