Abstract
Two pots made of rough clay were discovered several years ago in Bribir, under insufficiently documented archaeological circumstances. The smaller pot, which contained chicken eggs and a whetstone, was covered with half of the larger pot. Based on the fracture, the typological characteristics and the decoration method, the pots are very similar, so it can be concluded with great certainty that they are from the same time period. Although they have somewhat of an archaic appearance, imitating older shapes and means used to craft them and probably also the local craftsmanship, it is believed that they belong to a very widespread group of mediaeval pots. Typological analogies show that we are dealing with ceramic pots which
can be placed into a wider time frame of the 11th through the 13th centuries.
