Sažetak
Plant macro remains from the underwater archaeological site of the Roman harbour in Zaton (1st to mid-4th century) were analysed. The samples were collected in 2011 and 2012 by hydro-archaeologists of Archaeological Museum Zadar. All together 4320 plant remains (seeds, fruits, twigs, leaves, and thorns) were extracted from 62 samples and mostly identified to the species level. Results of the analysis confirmed that three most important agricultural products were: grapevine (Vitis vinifera), olive (Olea europaea) and fig (Ficus carica). Cherry (Prunus avium/cerasus), peach (Prunus persica), stonepine (Pinus pinea), almond (Prunus dulcis), walnut (Juglans regia), chestnut (Castanea sativa), herbs and vegetables were probable also grown. Important findings of Zaton locality are also radish seeds (Raphanus sativus) - the oldest find of radish in Europe, Sebastian fruits (Cordia myxa) - very rare found in ancient Europe and Glaucium corniculatum - the oldest find of this ephemeral species in Croatia.
