Sažetak
In October 2012, trial excavations were carried out at the foot of the Sv. Trojica hillfort, in the vicinity of Starigrad Paklenica. Four sondages revealed mostly ceramic material while on the southern slopes of the hillfort a rich habitation layer was investigated containing large amounts of ceramics, animal bones and shells. Finds include Lamboglia 2 type amphorae, Gnathia fragments and other Hellenistic ceramics and fragments of several pots of a coarser texture. Notable among the metal objects are an iron curved knife, a Numidian coin and iron rivets from Roman military footwear from the Late Republican and Early Imperial period, confirming that the position was used by the local Liburnian community but also possibly by the Roman army in the period from the 2nd until the end of the 1st century BC.
