Early Medieval Pottery from Krneza

Archaeological sites from the Early Medieval period are quite numerous in the region of north Dalmatia and especially in the hinterland of Zadar. In this period Croats inhabited this area, that was once part of Roman province of Dalmatia and archaeological evidences of these changes in the population structure are to be found in different locations all over this region. Explored sites of Early Middle Ages in north Dalmatia mainly belong to cemeteries, but some settlements are also confirmed. One of the latest archaeological excavations started in 2007. in the village of Krneza near Zadar, at a site called Jokina glavica. It is a burial mound with finds from Early Medieval period where significant amount of pottery was found. Even though these vessels belong to the pottery group that in Croatia still isn't thoroughly explored, comparisons can be found in different sites in Dalmatia, as well as ones found in the other parts of Croatia and Eastern Europe. This pottery collection also presents small, but important part that will hopefully contribute to better understanding of everyday life, culture and religion of Early Middle Ages in Croatia.
