Sažetak
In 2015, the Nadin-Gradina Archaeological Project (NGAP) began as a collaborative effort between the University of Zadar and University of Maine to unravel the long-term record of urban change in the Ravni Kotari region of northern Dalmatia, with a primary focus on the Nadin-Gradina archaeological site. Since its inception, the NGAP has confirmed a 2, 500-year record of occupational settlement that includes Liburnian Iron Age origins, Roman establishment of the municipium Nedinum, and Late Antique settlement of the late 3rd through late 6th centuries. Following an apparent centuries-long period of abandonment, the hilltop town was reestablished during the Late Medieval and Venetian/Ottoman eras. In this paper, we present new archaeological evidence for the Late Antique settlement, a relatively underexplored period in archaeological studies of urban change in the Classical world, particularly among smaller provincial settlements. Drawing upon the results of our recent excavations, we review architectural and artifactual data in a regional context to offer insight into the broader debate of urban decline vs. transformation that so often characterizes Late Antique studies.
