Contribution on the beginnings of industrial construction in Split
Stanko Piplović
Sažetak
The article presents some typical examples of the construction and functioning of industrial plants from the beginning of the 20th century in Split. The area in the north-eastern part of Dobri zone is particularly interesting, where an unknown aqueduct was discovered in 2009 during the construction of a large residential building in Ljudevita Posavskog street on the site of the former ice factory, and later paint factory. During the extensive excavation of the ground for the new building’s basements, there were interesting archaeological discoveries from the ancient times to the present day. The investor of the building on that site was the company Formosa d.o.o., and the design architect Jerko Rošin from Studio R in Split, who made the survey report in 2008. The contractor was the construction company Ivan Lavčević. First, the company Palisada from Trilje carried out archaeological research by excavating probes and trenches. The research was supervised by senior curator Dubravka Čerina from the Split Department of Conservation at the Ministry of Culture. Additionally, a long aqueduct was discovered that led along the north-eastern edge of the construction site. Its existence, age and purpose were unknown. No decorations were found on the rustic stone structure, so nothing could be determined in more detail. Its position and size made further construction difficult. Therefore, the archival documentation of the periodical publications of the time was accessed, and it was determined that it had been built in recent times and that it did not have any historical value, so further continuation of the work was approved. The discovery
and research of the new canal are important for learning about the construction achievements in Split in the past.
Many remains of old objects from prehistoric, ancient, medieval, and modern times to our times were discovered on the construction site. Those from the Roman era are particularly important. In probe 2, a late antique grave covered with tiles in the form of a gable roof was found, oriented east-west, and partially damaged. It contained a well-preserved skeleton, probably of a younger person. There were no items in the grave. Earlier archaeological research indicates that the area of the new construction site in Dobri zone is part of a wide zone containing buildings in ancient times. In the immediate vicinity in the south-eastern part, the foundations of circular concentric walls were discovered in 1879 at a place called Ad basilicas pictas. Detailed research was carried out in 1997. An early Christian cemetery and baptistery were then found. There are different opinions about the purpose of the circular object. It is thought to be a Roman Odeon, a building for musical performances, or even an amphitheatre, but more detailed analyses indicate that it was probably a theatre. After it was determined that the aqueduct canal on Dobri is from recent times and of no major historical or artistic value, it was demolished, so works on the construction of a new building continued, and they were completed in 2011.
