Sažetak
The Senj Town Museum and specialist leader Blaženka Ljubović, MSc. Education (History) and MSc. Archaeology, along with the conservation supervision of Vinko Madiraca,
BSc. an archaeologist from the Conservation Department in Gospić was appointed to carry out the archaeological supervision. The construction works and archaeological supervision of the landscaping of the mouth of the Kolan, the right bank of the watercourse from the inlet to the sea upstream to a length of about 80 m, were carried out from January to May 2022. The locality in question, the mouth of the Senj stream Kolan, is located within the protected cultural-historical complex of the town of Senj, cadastral parcel no. 740/1. cadastral municipality Senj, which has the status of a cultural asset registered in the Register of Immovable Cultural Assets of the Republic of Croatia under the number Z-4186. Due to the regulation of the mountain torrent, which often caused great damage to the town of Senj and the harbour of Senj, the Kolan (18th to 19th century), a deep trough along the southern outskirts of the town of Senj, was excavated. After the digging of the riverbed, torrents of water, along with gravel, sand and silt, poured out near the Art, at the mouth of the Kolan into the sea, outside the town’s harbour. The subject of this paper is the archaeological supervision of the protection of the site during the construction works of the right bank of the mouth of the Kolan, for the purpose of collecting all the important information about the cultural layers and archaeological finds at the site. During the works, the architectural remains were discovered of a solidly built wall, 40 metres long, which stretches along the entire length of the right bank of the mouth of the Kolan to the Vukasović bridge. The wall is composed in a horizontal style of four rows of stone blocks of various sizes joined with lime mortar, forming a whole with the wall of the breakwater. As part of these works, part of the terrain on the plateau in front of the Vukasović bridge was cleaned up. Next to the wall of the bridge, part of a pavement made of orderly arranged pieces of stone was discovered. The archaeological supervision of the construction works of the landscaping of the mouth of the Kolan stream into the sea provided important information about the site and cultural layers, as well as archaeological finds at the site. Similarly, another testimony of the rich history of Senj was uncovered.
