Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of sherds of prehistoric ceramic
colanders (strainers), 53 pieces in total, recovered at multiple
sites across Istria. The paper compares the sherds from Istria
with individual specimens of colanders from the Dalmatia1
and Slavonia regions, and from countries in the neighbourhood
of Croatia (Slovenia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania and
Greece). Along with the results of biomolecular analyses of the
vessels, we attempt to reconstruct and interpret the use and
production of wax, beeswax, wine and the production of milk
and cheese in the prehistoric period; the Neolithic, Eneolithic
and Bronze Age.

Keywords
