Sažetak
The Bay of Caska, at the Island of Pag, preserved the remains of a multi-stratified settlement, whose important phase seems to be identifiable with a maritime villa property of the senatorial family Calpurnii Pisones. After presenting the geographical and historical context of the site of Caska, the article summarizes the principal achievements of past archaeological research, and presents the results of the recent research carried out on land and underwater. In particular, it focuses on the harbour structures, where the remains of four scuttled vessels were discovered. These vessels, three sewn boats and one tenon-and- mortise built ship, filled with rocks, formed pier-like coastal structures. The architecture of these vessels is also discussed.
