Sažetak
In this short paper the author analyzes a rich Trilj find which has been repeatedly treated in scholarly literature as a domestic product, that is, a DalmatianMediterranean-Byzantine work of early Croatian culture from the 8th and, recently, the 9th centuries. The author believes that more precise cultural and chronologica l datation is possible by the analysis of each object in the group.
The analysis has revealed close analogies only with numerous identical pieces of jewelry from the Great Moravian cultural phase in the Moravska area, and with certain finds from the sites in Panonia such as Zalavar, Ptuj and the territory between the Tisa River and Carpathians which, according to written sources, were under the Great Moravian principality at that time.
Due to historical circumstances in that area where the constitution of early Croatian principalities started, the author wonders how to explain such finds from the 9th century in the Dalmatian area. Since the Trilj and other finds of this type are not copies but authentic objects produced in Moravian and Panonian workshop, these finds, including that from Trilj, represent closed cultural wholes and could not have been any kind of booty. In the 9th century jewelry was still a part of national costumes in the Slavonian culture and revealed the ethnic identity of the bearer. It is hardly possible to believe that a distinguished Croat wearing emblems of high Moravian nobility could be buried in the heart of the Croatian principality.
According to the author, further archaeological research in this part of the Cetina River (unless they yield different data) might throw more light not only cin the role of Trilj-adjacent Pans Tiluri -but also answer questions concerning the role of the buried Moravian noble woman.
