Abstract
This paper presents the results of a field survey
undertaken to determine the nature of the evidence
for Roman-period activity at quarries on the so-called
Škoji islands off Korčula and on Brač. The aim of this
investigation was to observe the condition of the quarries
and the available archaeological evidence as well
as to provide a more comprehensive description of
the sites, using measurements, photographs, maps and
geographical coordinates. An analysis of the sites also
includes comparisons with other quarries in Dalmatia
and in the broader Roman Mediterranean.
