Sažetak
Located in the central part of Ravni Kotari (Northern Dalmatia, Croatia), Nadin-Gradina (Nedinum) occupies a vast area of 32.6 ha, while the main stone rampart encloses an area of about 8 ha, making it one of the largest hillfort complexes in ancient Liburnia. Nadin-Gradina was an economic, cultural and administrative center of one of the largest Liburnian territories. By the early first millennium A.D., Nadin-Gradina was transformed into a formal Roman municipium, but it appears to have declined during Late Antiquity. In the later part of the Medieval era, the site regained prominence and was ultimately influenced by Venetian and Ottoman expansion. The Nadin-Gradina Archaeological Project (NGAP), a multi-year effort currently supported by the Croatian Science Foundation, has recovered abundant pottery from cemetery and settlement areas within the site. Current findings suggest a distinct tendency among Liburnian communities to have imported fine pottery during the Iron Age, and particularly the Late Iron Age, with most artifacts originating from the Adriatic region. This also correlates with an increase in pottery used for transport and storage, confirming Nadin- Gradina’s active participation in broader economic and social events during this period. With the onset of Roman influence, the situation changed with the introduction of goods from the wider Mediterranean region in accordance with more “global” trends.
