Sažetak
The tiny island of Palagruža, located near the centre of the Adriatic Sea, yielded extraordinary rich 3rd millennium cal BC pottery and lithic assemblages. Prominent among the finds is archery equipment (arrow points and wrist-guards) and richly decorated ‘Cetina style’ pottery. At a time marked by considerable mobility and long-distance maritime links, the 3rd millennium cal BC mariners would have recognized Palagruža’s unique importance for trans-Adriatic navigation. Deposition of choice goods at this remote and desolate location would have been an archaeologically visible expression of that recognition.
