Barbed projectile points, produced from osseous raw materials, are considered to be a major advancement in the hunting techniques of prehistoric communities. They appear in Eurasia in the Upper Palaeolithic period, and were rather common during the Magdalenian technocomplex and later, among the Mesolithic communities in northern parts of Europe. Wh...
This paper presents the richest prehistoric assemblage of ornaments in the Eastern Adriatic discovered to date, found in the Late Upper Palaeolithic layers of Vlakno cave, Croatia. The abundance and multiform of bead types indicate that the site was likely used as a workshop for ornaments, i.e. that production was performed on site. Technological a...
Rad donosi rezultate arheoloških istraživanja provedenih u pećini Vlakno na Dugom otoku tijekom 2022. godine. Pećina Vlakno smjestila se na središnjem dijelu Dugog otoka nasuprot otoka Rave. 40 m2 iskoristivog prostora, u kombinaciji s velikim ulazom okrenutim prema jugoistoku i izvorom vode u blizini pokazalo se kao izvrsno mjesto za boravak manji...
Nakon nekoliko kratkih probnih kampanja kojima je cilj bio utvrditi arheološki potencijal, tijekom 2022. godine započela su sustavna iskopavanja Kozje peći na Dugom otoku. Pećina se nalazi na sredini otoka na visini od oko 200 m nad morem, otprilike kilometar sjeverozapadno od ulaza u radarsku postaju na Veloj straži. Iskopavanja su obavljana u skl...

The oral microbial community living in symbiosis with humans is a rich and diverse driver of health and disease that is strongly influenced by our ecology and lifestyle. However, its evolution across human prehistory remains elusive. By analyzing the DNA entrapped in archaeological dental calculus, we characterize the oral microbiomes...
In this contribution we dismantle the perceived role of marine resources and plant foods in the subsistence economy of Holocene foragers of the Central Mediterranean using a combination of dental calculus and stable isotope analyses. The discovery of fish scales and flesh fragments, starch granules and other plant and animal micro-debris in the den...
The Ričina spring cave is located in the wider region of the Vrilo hamlet in the vicinity of Tomislavgrad. It is a part of a larger complex, more precisely there are three cave entrances mutually connected with cave channels, created as a consequence of the corrosive activity of a strong underground stream. The complex and the surrounding region ar...
The archaeological remains collected during recent excavations of the Neolithic site of Pokrovnik are discussed and presented in this work. The collected archaeological material is important in the context of further study of the character and dynamics of the development of the Neolithic community of the eastern Adriatic, particularly at the transi...
The recently discovered Vlakno Cave, situated in the central part of the island of Dugi Otok (Croatia), is one of the most prominent Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic sites along the eastern part of the Adriatic coast. Its uninterupted stratigraphy offers a rare opportunity to study the response of Pleistocene populations to a post-glacial environm...
The Zadar region is exceptionally rich in Middle Palaeolithic materials discovered in the area from Ražanac and Nin to the Zadar islands (Dugi otok, Silba and Pag). Sites correspond closely to raw material choice, as well as typological and technological characteristics of tools. Distinct microlithization is the main factor by which industries such...
Remains of a Neolithic settlement were found in excavations in 2012 at the periphery of the city of Benkovac, at the Barice position. Discovery of dwelling objects was accompanied by rich remains of material culture. Analyzed and presented finds correspond closely to well-known cultural expression of the typical Danilo culture. Standard assemblage...
Despite abundance of autochthonous metal forms we know very little about the process of production of metal objects in the Liburnians. Metallurgic centres, workshops and tools are unknown for the most part. Only scarce examples of moulds stand as indicators of production. Their existence opens up discussion about the technology of production, skill...
In the course of archaeological excavations at the Pakoštane-Crkvina site from 2006 to 2013, the remnants of the Church of St. Mary, which was part of the medieval settlement of Zablaće, were unearthed. Auxiliary rooms and a medieval cemetery were uncovered beside the church. However, the features of grave 75 make it stand out. It is a constructed...

Archaeological supervision of construction works in the zone of the Barbakan (Barbakan) was carried out in 2008 in the frame of the works on the Citadela fort (Citadela) in the southeastern part of the Zadar city walls. The investigations yielded a wealth of new information on the appearance ofthat space and changed our previous understanding of th...
Total number of 402 bone and antler artifacts were found on the Neolithic site of Crno vrilo. It is obvious that the bones for tools were not selected randomly, but similar bones were regularly used for the production of a certain group of artifacts. Long tubular bones (primarily tibia and radius) were suitable for manufacturing massive objects, wh...
This paper explores possible connections between the Middle Palaeolithic open air sites in the Zadar hinterland, which have been referred to in the literature by the general term ‘Ražanac’, and the sites on the islands of Dugi Otok and Molat. These sites correspond closely according to raw material choice, as well as typological and technological c...
