Abstract
The author discusses archaeological research underway at the Early Christian basilica in Grohote on the island of Solta. The introduction covers earlier findings in the form of antique inscriptions and sarcophagi (1913) and research conducted by don Marin Bezić with the aid of don Frane Bulić, Dr. Ljubo Karaman (1927 — 1931) and Ejnar Dyggve, a Danish architect (1931), who compiled the architectural documentation for the finding. The Institute for Protection of Monuments of Culture in Split undertook revision of the archaeological research (197S/79), and during 1981 they began work on more extensive conservational activities within this complex. Research has indicated that this is a large,
single-nave Early Christian basilica with a longitudinal floorplan with a narthex added on later on the western side and annexes along northern and southern perimentral wall of the basilica. The study encompasses data on the finding of a fragment of the church inventory (baptismal
font, the altar partitions, floor mosaics and so forth).
