Abstract
The results are published of archaeological excavations of the late mediaeval cemetery at Strožanac surrounding the present Church of Our Lady of the Rushes. A total of 191 graves were excavated and systematically documented from 1990 to 1993. Also discovered were 28 stećci (mediaeval tombstones), three of them with ornamentation. Grave goods were discovered in fifteen graves, and several objects were also found outside of the graves. The earliest finds were decorative platelets -perhaps sections of a diadem, a ring with a glass eye in symmetrically placed hooks, and a coin of the city of Split. On the basis of the finds, burial took place at the cemetery from the 14th to the end of the 18th century.
