THE ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDS FROM DEVASTATED ANCIENT GRAVES AT SENJ
IVO FADIĆ
Sažetak
The author analyses pit excavation results located near Tomljanović house in Čopić settlement, region of Varoš at Senj, where in 1977 were rediscovered the antique culture material remnants. The investigated area was in fact devastated for possible detailed archeological protective exploration much before the Museum was informed accordingly. So, by narrowly examining the ground and uncovered pit, it was possible to establish to an extent there were some six or eight devastated graves which were, like those investigated previously, orientated in north-west/south-east direction. It is pointed out further the area was living intensively during the ancient and late ancient times, which is proved by tiny materials and several recent glass fragments. Meaning, beside the monumental finds of the ancient wall, which might have been also the part of some antique temple (possibly the Temple of Liber), all the other devastated elements suggest that was the place of the ancient or late ancient necropolis. The confirmation for his statement the author finds in the style of sepulture and materials found thereabouts, which belong to a period from the end of the 2nd to the 5th century A.D. The outstanding place among the fragments in this article belong to the three oviform glass jugs which represent, not only on our spaces, the real typological rarity. It has been outlined that, by analogy with the cylinder-shaped jugs, this find might be dated back to the end of the 3rd and the 4th century A.D. and are supposed to be the manufacture of the Pannonian glass workshops.
