Abstract

The author describes random finds on the southern beaches of Zadar, discovered during a period of several years at low tide, after storms. These are not the only such finds; there is a lot of data about similar finds that people came across in a similar way as they walked along the beach. In addition to finds dating from pre-monetary times, there have also been finds of coins, ceramics, militaria and seals. It should be noted that all the finds, including those that are yet to come, cover all historical periods. It is not possible to know where and when the sea will throw anything out because the constant changes of the tides and storms mix up all the existing material along the two-kilometer-long shoreline. This material is always found by chance, as is also material from the Mazin hoard, which appears after heavy rainfall. The finds described here do not belong to any hoard but are sporadic. This is a characteristic of the beaches in question and these finds in situ are not connected to the site itself.
