The archaeological excavations at the ancient town of Stobi, in 2009, were performed in 6 sectors and total area of 9900m 2 . Тhe project was directed by M.Phil Silvana Blaževska from NI Stobi and financed by the Macedonian Goverment. The Wheeler-Kenyon methodology applied to a wide area enables precise documentation of the cultural deposits from the Early Roman to the Early Byzantine periods. In addition to buildings, the excavations provided a large number of objects: 3568 coins, approximately 700 different metal objects, 150 terracotta figurines, glass, jewellery and hundreds of whole and fragmented ceramic vessels.

The first excavation campaign in April, May and June included investigations at the Western Necropolis and the Theatre, financed through the capital projects for excavations supported by the Government of the Republic of Macedonia. Besides the 13 uncovered graves, the imperative of the NI Stobi archaeologists was the street that leads from Porta Heraclea to the south. Having in mind that the graves are arranged on both sides of the street, significant information for the development and the organization of the necropolis was brought to light. The documented grave offerings included ceramic vessels, a glass vessel, many terracotta figurines and two iron strigiles.
