Abstract
The paper presents metal finds from the archaeological excavations carried out at the site of Banjače in Dugopolje, conducted in 2005 by the employees of the Department of Archaeology of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb.
The analyzed material is dominated by tools (sickle, wedges, scraper, knifes, nails, rivets), with significantly less finds of house inventory (shutter, sewing needles, shackle) and personal items (fibula, clasp), leading to the conclusion that this was a rural farm the like of which must have existed on the fertile territory of Dugopolje in Antiquity and which were probably organized as villages (vicus). Seeing as most of the material was dated to the Late Antiquity, and older material can be dated to the 4th century, the finds from Banjače can be dated to the timeframe between the 4th and the 6th century.
