An insight into craft activities in rural areas of Dalmatia Province - First data on iron working at the Roman settlement in Lopar (Island of Rab)

Within multidisciplinary research carried out at Podšilo bay in Lopar on the island of Rab (north-eastern Adriatic), on the bases of movable finds and, possibly, geophysical measurements, evidence of ironworking has been detected within a Roman rural site where ceramic building materials production was ascertained before. Preliminary analyses of several samples of slug, iron objects and nearby collected minerals support the presumption of metallurgical activities occurring at the site. An overview of regional and wider analogies allows to propose several scenarios of iron working setup, scale and organisation.
