Sažetak

The paper presents for the first time an early mediaeval Carolingian sword found in Škabrnja near Zadar. This chance find originates from a devastated Early Croatian cemetery, still unknown to archaeological science. Regardless of the archaeological context, i.e. the circumstances of the find, this sword is in itself a very valuable contribution to the archaeological knowledge of the early Middle Ages and the creation of the mediaeval Croatian state. This work presents a technical description of the sword, its' typology and dating, as well as an attempt to consider it in the broader context of the early Middle Ages in Croatia.
