Abstract

During rescue archaeological excavations conducted in Solin
in 1986-1987 on the expansion of a section on the Trogir-Split
road (the so-called Solin bypass), among the finds 561 graves
were discovered and examined. In this paper, I shall describe
the method employed to clean the coins from grave 207, a
skeletal burial without architecture in sector III (Hortus). The
grave contained a ceramic oil lamp (its stamp reading VIBIANI),
approximately 30 poorly preserved iron nails and 20 Roman
provincial coins. The coins were cleaned and, with the help of
an XRF device, a metal analysis was conducted and the results
thereof are also presented.
