An early Christian basilica, a medieval church and a necropolis were studied. Height of the walls and building conditions allows reconstruction and exposure. Initially there was a Thracian settlement and probably a sanctuary. During the second half of 4th century, an early Christian single-nave basilica with a chapel on north site was built. The basilica had imported glass windows. Towards the end of 6th century the basilica was burnt down, most probably from the Slav invasions, registered elsewhere in the region. In its northern chapel a pottery workshop was set up. During 10th century on the eastern basilica' part, a small cemetery church was built. It served a large Christian necropolis, which dated to the 13th century, based on coins and ornaments. The studied graves are over 200. The materials found - ornaments, coins, iron artifacts, Byzantine glass and ceramics - allow the creation of a reliable chronology of Shipotsko' life.
