Sažetak
This paper outlines the results of an archaeometallurgical study of the remains of a well-preserved late to postmedieval foundry excavated in 2005 and 2008 in the northwest corner of Dubrovnik's historic centre. During this period, Dubrovnik constituted the independent Republic of Ragusa, and was famed for its wealth and democracy. The building of the foundry, in the mid-15th century, marks a significant period of change and represents a phase where industrial activity within the city was beginning to flourish. The investigation suggests that both ferrous and non-ferrous metals were cast in the foundry, using sand as the predominant molding material. Evidence suggests a range of objects, most probably associated with ordnance, were cast within the foundry. The material and objects found within the excavations place the foundry within the wider context of the Ragusan trading sphere.
