Abstract
Vinišća is a settlement at the Middle Dalmatic coast, west of Trogir. The Croatian Archaeological Monuments Museum performed brief visits to the area as early as in 1990 and 1994, more intensive, fourteen day, visits being made in 2001. So far, there has been inspected the eastern and the centralpart of Vinišća, the western part to Sevid still waiting for researches.
Vinišća include the eastern part of this area, called the Hilic Peninsula in the classical period, and related to the name of Bosiijina in the middle ages. In the area of the present Vinišća, there were two villages in the middle ages: Vinišća, in the centre of the Vinipša Bay, where the centre of the present village is, and Oriovica, a village situated around a larger karst field on the central plateau of the peninsula.
The localities registered so far encompass a large span of time from theprehistoric epoque to the new age. The oldest sites are from the bronze age and the beginning of the iron age: the hillJort Oriovišćak and several stone tumuli around it. The classical period is represented by three villae rusticae built by edges of the three larger karst fields: the Oriovica Field -Our Lady of Health, the Ilovik Field -Rimnine, and the Vinišća Field -the Japlena tumulus. The architectural remains and movable finds (ceramics, inscriptions, sculpture) appear to have originatedfrom the early to the late classical period. The larger classical complex in the Stari Trogir Bay appears similar. To the classical period also helong remains of the Jamurine quarry, prohably the Voluja quarry as well, where quarries existed till as long as the middle and the new ages. The middle and the early new ages are also represented by the site of Our Lady of Health (Romanesque church and medieval graveyard at the lands owned by the Benedictines of Trogir) and larger number of hamlets with remains of houses and ceramics: Seline and Punta Dvorine in the Vinišća Bay; Rimine and Juranovića dvori by and around the above mentioned villae rusticae) and Ljubiško selo to north of the church of Our Lady of Health.
