Abstract
Despite the long-standing importance of the Ogulin-Plaški region
in past trade and communication networks, few radiocarbon
dates have been reported from the area’s prehistoric contexts.
This article presents new accelerator mass spectrometry
(AMS) radiocarbon dates from the Iapodian sites of Trošmarija,
Sultanov grob, and Mala and Velika Metaljka. Radiocarbon dates
from burial and settlement contexts demonstrate activity at
these sites was underway by the start of the Iron Age, ca. 800 BC
and continued for centuries afterward. These new radiocarbon
dates contribute to our growing understanding of sociopolitical
and cultural development in prehistoric and Roman period of
the Ogulin-Plaški region.
