The paper presents the archaeological sites in the environs of the modern settlement of Bela Cerkev and the results of archaeological excavations in 2002, prior to motorway construction. Excavations ...at four (?) different, but contiguous locations (Dolge njive, Draga 1, Draga 2 in Draga 3) revealed and documented part of the line of the road, the masonry foundations of buildings, numerous post-built structures, a cemetery and domestic material, dating to the Roman period. The paper also considers hypotheses surrounding the location of the Roman-period roadside settlement of Crucium. It is posited that the excavation on these sites have revealed the location of the Roman roadside settlement of Crucium, which was occcupied or functioned in the period from the 1st to the 4th Centuries AD.

Zaščitna raziskovanja leta 2007 so potekala na bregu reke Ljubljanice in v jugozahodnem vogalu rimske naselbine Nauportus na Dolgih njivah na Vrhniki. Iz časa od 4./3. st. do sredine 1. st. pr. Kr. ...je bilo na bregu reke ugotovljenih pet faz človekove dejavnosti (faze 1 A–E), ki so vidne v neurejeno odloženih kosih lesa s sledmi obdelave (sekanje, klanje, žaganje). V fazi 1 A je prišlo do izsekavanja gozda, verjetno tudi do utrjevanja brega z lesnim odpadom. Breg je bil ponovno utrjen z lesom v fazi 1 C. V predavgustejskem ali avgustejskem obdobju so območje tlakovali s kamnito podlago in peščenim nasutjem, kar je potekalo sočasno z gradnjo postojanke na Dolgih njivah (faza 2 A). Tlakovanje je bilo kmalu dvakrat popravljeno (fazi 2 B–C). V tlakovanju smo prepoznali urejeno nabrežje rečnega pristanišča v Navportu. Območje naselbine in pristanišča je bilo opuščeno kmalu po avgustejskem obdobju.
V članku sta predstavljena razvoj vegetacije in človekov vpliv na okolje na območju današnjega mesta Vrhnika (rimski Navport) v pozni prazgodovini (1. tisočletje pr. n. št.). Raziskava temelji na ...rezultatih pelodne analize aluvialnega sedimenta, ki se je odlagal na desnem bregu Ljubljanice (lokacija Dolge njive) pred drugo polovico prvega stoletja pr. n. št., ko je bila postavljena rimska naselbina Dolge njive. Pelodni zapis kaže, da je bila pokrajina okrog najdišča v prvem tisočletju pr. n. št. močvirna, medtem ko je mešani gozd (bukev, hrast, jelka in navadni gaber) poraščal bližnja bolj suha območja. Pokrajina je bila le deloma pogozdena; vidni so močni sledovi kultivacije žit in paše, kar lahko povežemo z gospodarskimi aktivnostmi prebivalcev prazgodovinskih (halštatskih in latenskih) naselbin v bližini. Izsekavanje gozda je še pred nastankom rimske naselbine na Dolgih njivah verjetno postalo intenzivnejše. Zaradi suhih hidroloških razmer v arheoloških kulturnih plasteh rekonstrukcija razvoja vegetacije v času rimske naselbine ni bila mogoča.
The Early Roman trading post at Dolge njive formed a part of Nauportus - a vicus on the town territory of Aquileia. The site was investigated using various geophysical methods: geoelectric ...resistivity, electrical conductivity, magnetometry, and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The results are presented in view of the complementarity of these methods. The data from earlier archaeological excavations were used to plan an appropriate and effective research strategy. The results from geophysical prospecting were combined with the ground plans resulting from former excavations and a new ground plan of the trading post was engendered. A 3D portrayal of the architectural remains was enabled by georadar sounding. The site was fortified with a defence wall and towers as well as a defence ditch. One third of the interior surface was covered by the market place, which was surrounded by storehouses (horrea) with a portico and tabernae. An ambulatory type temple was also found here. Similar architecture is known primarily from Republican set-tlements in Italy and from Roman ports. The chronology of the small finds was reviewed and the results place the origins of the site in the Pre-Augustan or Early Augustan periods, and its decline in the 1st century AD.
