Abstract

The paper brings the results of archaeological excavations conducted by the Department of Archaeology of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb in 2005 at the Banjače site, situated on the route of the Adriatic motorway between Dugopolje and Bisko. The site is located in close proximity of Roman roads that went from Salona to the border and the heartland of the province of Dalmatia. The excavations uncovered the remains of two drywall structures that were used as working areas, i.e. Structure 1 probably as storage, and Structure 2 as an area for processing and storing food. The site is a part of a rural settlement that was founded at the beginning of the 5th century.
