Sažetak
Two graveyards on the shores of Vrana Lake in Northern Dalmatia have been archaeologically investigated. Crkvina and Maksanova gomila lie in close proximity, less than 20 m away, but they are separated by the wall. Some grave characteristics show similarities, but there are also differences. On Crkvina there is a church, while on Maksanova gomila there are no buildings at all, and the tombstones are different. Crkvina also shows a longer period of use as a graveyard, at least since Early Middle Ages, while graves at Maksanova gomila are dated to the second half of 15th and the 16th century and are attributed to Vlach population. Until current excavations on Maksanova gomila only two graves were excavated yielding together 22 skeletons. In season 2021/2022 archaeological research was carried on, so far giving 14 new graves. Two graves contained only one skeleton – in both cases a subadult. All the other graves generally consist of one skeleton in situ – subadult or adult, and one or more skeletons buried as secondary depositions or reburials. Previous anthropological analysis carried on skeletal remains from two graves showed high levels of interpersonal violence, evidence of heavy physical labour, and high frequency of indicators of subadult stress suggesting these individuals were probably living in poor conditions and consumed low-quality food. Ongoing anthropological analysis on new excavated human skeletal remains will focus on demography and pathological conditions in order to complement archaeological research and historical sources to better understand the migration movements in the area of northern Dalmatia in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period.
