Dunja Glogović

Abstract

The paper presents fragments of silver jewellery from grave nos. 9 and 10 at Dragišić hillfort near Šibenik that were explored in 2001, and from grave n. 26 excavated in 2003. The jewellery consists of new finds of plate fibulae of the Liburnian type in the area of Southern Liburnia. The plate fibulae have been classified in two groups: plate fibulae and plate fibulae with serpentinelike features. The fibulae fragments from Dragišić presented in this paper possibly belong to versions nos. 3 and 4 dated to the period B of the last phase of the Liburnian Culture (2nd and 1st century BC). The finds of plate fibulae of the Liburnian type from coastal Croatia and Lika have been analysed, and the following sites have been added to their distribution map: Dragišić and Nezakcij in Istria. Dragišić hillfort is the southernmost site in coastal Croatia where plate fibulae of the Liburnian type have been found, while the northernmost site is Rijeka in Kvarner Bay.
