Sažetak
A small collection of archaeological finds was recovered recently from the surface of Jujnovića Cave in middle Dalmatian hinterland. Formal typological characteristics of the relatively numerous potsherds indicate that people frequently visited the cave during the Late Bronze Age, while a few flaked stone artefacts testify of occasional earlier visits. Shepherds were probably the most common visitors. They would have used the cave as a shelter for themselves and their herds during seasonal migrations between highland and lowland pastures. Alternatively, the cave may have used as a hideout, since its entrance is well hidden from view. For the time being, Jujnovića Cave is the only known prehistoric cave site within the borders of Biokovo Nature Park.
