Archeology

Peruhova / Ljubićava cave.

Posted on by JanS

This cave is situated about 1,3 kilometers north of Marčana and has several cave rooms and pits, interconnected by channels.

The cave is developed in the limestone of the cretaceous age (approximately 144 till 65 million years ago). This karst phenomenon  was created by the action of water enriched with carbon dioxide that dissolved the mineral calcite in the limestone.

On  basis of archaeological research in 1991 when they found ceramics and bones was concluded that people lived in the cave in the Neolithic age (about 10.000 years BC) till the Bronze age (2nd millennium BC).

Villa Rustica Loran.

Posted on by JanS

Archaelogical research has been carried out at this location, located at the Lunga bay, since 1994. It has been established that over a length of 140 meters and a width of 90 meters inland in the first to the 4th century AD, mainly the production of ceramic oil amphora took place. This was done in 2 batteries with 2 ovens each. A large water basin of 150 m3 was available for the manufacture of the amphorae. In addition to the larger ovens, smaller ovens have also been established here for the production of crockery and other ceramic utensils.

Gradine Vrčin (Monte Orsino) near Butkovići.

Posted on by JanS

Based on ceramics found, it has been established that people lived here from the Neolithic period and this location later developed into a walled gradine. The walls have largely collapsed and are covered with soil. Earlier research in the beginning of the last century found many jewelry in stone coffins next to bones.

Castle Sv. Juraj near Srbani.

Posted on by JanS

This prehistoric settlement was located near the Mirna on a steep cliff with a height of 36 meters. From here they had a good overview of movements in the valley and the mouth of the Mirna and the Adria. After the Roman period, a castle and a church were built within the fortress in the Middle Ages.

Prehistoric settlement Kukuj near Sorgi.

Posted on by JanS

Partly due to the ceramics found and the dry technique applied to the walls, it is clearly recognizable that this was a prehistoric settlement. This gradina extended over two small landscaped plateaus. The small cave outside the gradina may have served as a water reservoir.
