Abstract

On the basis of an overview of the results of archaeological research,
analysis of stratigraphy of layers and finds from archaeological
contexts, as well as known historical data, the paper provides
new knowledge about the castle of Dubovac in the Late
Middle Ages and Early Modern Age. It has been found that the
early-Renaissance castle, built at the turn of the 16th century, during
the time of the Frankopan family, was built on older remains,
probably of a wooden fortress surrounded by a ditch. This older
castle was built at the beginning of the 15th century during the
time of the noble family Zudar, on a site where there was probably
a fort in the 13th century, perhaps in the style of a Romanesque
castle, and to which the remains of a stone structure with
a circular ground-plan are attributed. Fragments of kitchenware
and other objects, especially majolica tableware and noteworthy
clay stoves, testify to the way of life and equipment of the castle
of Dubovac in the early Modern Age, at the time of the Frankopan
and Zrinski families.
