Abstract
The paper Archaeological topography of Drniš in the Middle Ages examines medieval archaeological finds from the town of Drniš and the nearby settlements of Badanj and Varoš, which are housed in the Drniš City Museum. The material originates primarily from three investigated sites: the early medieval cemetery in the Fenčevina district of Drniš, the Church of St. John in Badanj, and the Gradina fortress in Drniš. In addition, the paper discusses a single chance find from the site of Grubišića
glavica, donated to the Museum by local residents, as well as one artefact of unknown provenance acquired through purchase. With the exception of one specimen, all of the finds have been unpublished. Accordingly, this study aims to systematically analyse and present the material to the scholarly community, while also offering interpretations of the archaeological contexts from which the objects derive. Finally, an archaeological topography of the area of Drniš during the medieval period is proposed,
with the goal of facilitating a more precise and comprehensive scientific understanding of the region in the future.
