Abstract The present report addresses the circumstances and results of an archaeological investigation initially authorized as a monitoring activity but subsequently developed into a preventive excavation, conducted within a site that has been subject to systematic and preventive research since 1995. The infrastructure project, involving the installation of a sewage system along the axis of a future access road to a property located within the site’s perimeter, required the excavation of a trench measuring approximately 90 m in length and c. 1–1.2 m in width for the installation of the sewer line, including five inspection chambers and four branch connections. A total of eight features attributed to Vinča - period occupations were identified and partially investigated, the majority consisting of sunken features (semi-subterranean dwellings and refuse pits), alongside one surface structure (Feature Cpx. 8), interpreted as the platform of an above-ground dwelling. The archaeological material recovered in substantial quantities enabled a reliable cultural and chronological attribution of the investigated complexes.
